Case Study is a tool for the military to analyze literary and philosophical texts using weaponized natural language processing software. The project is housed in a spy briefcase.
Case Study analyzes and produces visualizations of literary/philosophical texts and interpersonal communication using weaponized natural language processing software originally developed by the military. The parsing software, which finds and tags geopolitical events and world-historical actors in news articles, was originally intended to be a tool to help governments make predictions about global trends and material conflicts. In Case Study, we use that same tool on literary and philosophical texts rather than news articles, producing visualizations that frame literary, philosophical and interpersonal events in the language of geopolitics and the military.
The project is housed a “spy briefcase” containing a screen that shows realtime visualizations, and allows users to control various parameters of the analysis.

Colorpress is an online and printed collection of grammatical portraits of various books published over the ages. Each portrait is a colored pixellation of all the words in a book color coded by grammar rules. We also color code certain characters and special phrases in the books.
The exhibit at the ITP Winter Show 2014 will feature a high quality printed book featuring a colored portrait of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, portraits of entire books on postcards and posters, and an online library of selected famous works. The book as well as the website will also feature various data visualizations about certain metadata about the book.
A future step would be to make an online interactive portal where people would be able to order custom prints on their choice of media.
