[GreenKeys] Artificial Intelligence or a Model 15?

[Larry Tighe]

Howdy folks,

I've loaned two Model 15 mailboxes to Harvard.  A description of the venture 
is below.  There should be more info coming once the project is actually 
functioning.

The two teletypes will work in two separate museum spaces: one here at the 
CHSI, Harvard, and the other one at the MIT Museum. The idea is for 
visitors, in both spaces, to type on the teletype and determine whether they 
are writing to a machine or a human at the other end of the line. In order 
to do so, we need to program the teletype with a particular software so that 
they can communicate with each other and, when there is no one at the end of 
the line, with a computer. There will be no irreversible modifications done 
to the teletypes. One of the key piece of hardware we will need to plug-in 
in both teletypes is a Black Box, model CL-051A, we will buy separately. The 
work on this project is done by a team from the Harvard metaLAB, a group 
specialized in critical media practices. Our tech at the CHSI is Richard 
Wright, W1MPD, who has decades of experience with radio and all sorts of 
electronic apparatus.
