The digital as technique is an exploratory design project looking at opportunities in AI, screens and NFTs in the context of literature. It has been split into three parts where these materials have been explored separately. The approach has been formed by the materials. The goal has been to explore the material qualities of the different materials and create artifacts that can spark ideas and strategies for publishers. My main target group for this diploma has been publishers and authors. The result of this diploma has been three artifacts. A booklet of curated texts generated by the AI model GPT-3. A fully digital publisher publishing stories in formats that fits the device, take a look at www.literarywaves.com, and a poetry NFT collection created in collaboration with Gyldendal.
