“I truly ♥ the Poetry Camera, and imagine that any artist or writer would feel the same way. It’s such a positive, creative use of AI.”

Poetry Camera was created by two designers, Kelin & Ryan, who just wanted to have fun with technology again.

This art project is a celebration of creativity, community, and play.

Want to build your own? We’ve got a DIY version.
