Is it possible for algorithms to read a poetic story in an archive of news articles on digital surveillance, updated daily by the same person for fifteen years? Can algorithms read a similar story in the texts of a database as that which is told by its creator?

The members of the collective Algolit investigate these questions using [https://etraces.constantvzw.org/ e-traces], the database maintained by artist Michel Cleempoel. The answers are a source of inspiration for poetic and visual literary creations that take over Constant’s window.
