Abstract

In this article, we present the Association Engine, a multimedia installation that explores the space of language and exposes connections between words by performing a series of improvisational games. It stands out from previous efforts in the realm of computers and theater as the agency has been empowered with a cultural understanding, more specifically, it uses the Web as a source of cultural reality.
