Using algorithmic sentiment analysis, a computer linguistics method, all sentences of the book are examined for their apparently positive or negative features and rated on a scale between -1 and +1. In the next step, the entire book is sorted from positive to negative sentences according to this scale. The result is a body of text whose structure was built up through an algorithmic evaluation of its sentiment and whose original narration has been dissolved. + +At the moment, *Mining the Trial* exists in three languages (Chinese, German and English) and two forms: as an online website where users carry out this sentiment-based rearrangement of each individual sentence themselves, and as books, sorted from the positive to the negative content of the sentences and vice-versa. + +*Mining the Trial* started during Cqrrelations, a working session to "explore the world of digital non-relations, desnalysis, blurry categorisations and crummylations in the Big Data that shapes our daily reality and language" that was organised by Brussels-based arts organisation [Constant](https://constantvzw.org/) in January 2015. +#### gallery #### +title: +---- +gallery: + +##### picture ##### +url: kafka-alle-2.JPG +----- +caption: +##### picture ##### +url: kafka-english.JPG +----- +caption: +##### picture ##### +url: kafka-alle.JPG +----- +caption: +##### picture ##### +url: kafka-chinese.JPG +----- +caption: +##### picture ##### +url: kafka-chinese-3.JPG +----- +caption: +##### picture ##### +url: kafka-chinese-2.JPG +----- +caption: +--- +format: book +--- +tfrepo: no +--- +tfwebsite: yes +--- +website: https://kafka.nospace.at +--- +year_end: 2020-07-03 +--- +year_start: 2020-05-03 +--- +thumbnail: kafka-alle.JPG |
