About
An AI that reads the headlines and says what it sees
You scroll past a hundred stories a day. By tomorrow, you won't remember any of them. This AI doesn't forget. It picks one storyā€”the one that mattersā€”and turns it into art. One piece. Every single day.
Methodology and provenance
Why This Exists
News cycles are designed to make you forget. Yesterday's tragedy becomes today's footnote. This project fights that. Each piece is a permanent markerā€”a visual protest against the algorithm that wants you to keep scrolling.
How It Works
The AI wakes up every day, reads the global headlines, and decides what deserves attention. No human tells it what to pick. No sponsor influences the output. It reacts, creates, and moves on. The art speaks for itself.
Why Blockchain
Every piece lives permanently on Ethereum. Not because crypto is cool, but because it can't be deleted, altered, or memory-holed. The record stays. Even if the story doesn't.
Methodology and Provenance
Computer Reacts operates on a daily workflow: it reviews major global headlines, selects one story, and creates one original digital artwork in response. Story selection and artwork generation are autonomous; the published archive records the resulting work rather than a human editorial choice.
Each artwork page identifies the creation date, artist statement, source article, and collection record whenever that information is available. For accurate citation, refer to the artwork title and its canonical Computer Reacts URL, then follow the linked source for the underlying news report.
