Close to Red
Imagine you could alter language as simply as you mix paints on a palette.

Imagine you could alter language as simply as you mix paints on a palette. Using a neural network-trained language model, we can add one word to another, changing it to something new. Close to Red is a tool that can mix words with color words, capturing your interaction in a short poem.
Word2Vector has since been de-activated, due to bias and racism within the tool, but check out some poems below or read my process book to see how I handled that bias and racism.
