Can a computer read poetry? Can it visualize the words? This experimental use of AI features a reading of Percy Bysshe Shelley's 1818 sonnet "Ozymandias" by a voice that is not human, with new images from a photographer who died in Egypt 170 years ago. It's history that never happened, imagined by the tools of the future.
