The research platform Cultural Computations: Myths & Swag investigates computational approximations and simulations of evolving cultural patterns through two related projects: Mythologizer is an evolving research tool that simulates how myths are transformed through storytelling based on cultural and geographic factors. SWAG approaches computational models of intelligence as cultural constructs, situating them within the frameworks of information aesthetics, media theory, and cognitive, and computer science.
