Project case study
Neuropoetry: a poem from three words
The visitor picks three words out of twelve and writes a name; a neural network composes a poem in a classical style that appears on a large screen and goes home by QR code.

The challenge
Bring literature into an exhibition so that every visitor leaves with a poem dedicated to someone they love.
What Awake! delivered
A separate program sends the chosen words to a top OpenAI model, checks the result and runs it through a censorship module. The two-screen software is synchronised: an open book with an on-screen keyboard and a framed “page” where the poem is written out with animated handwriting. A server stores the poems and generates QR codes for downloading them as text and as an image.
Outcome
It has been running in the Travel Gallery of the National Centre “Russia” since its launch in spring 2025.
