H.U.M.A.N. (Historical Upscale Machine-Augmented Narratives) is a poetry writing/upscaling/reading sound sculpture that utilizes two copper hot water tanks with sound exciters, a found wooden cabinet, an amplifier, a computer, a dataset, Markov Chain + LLM models for increasing resolution, and text-to-voice.

This poem was one of the first 28 produced by H.U.M.A.N. and presented in the exhibition 'Mirror, Mirror’ in Victoria, British Columbia. October, 2024.
