Introduction
Deep Learning and Generative Research Through Story
ELIZABETH P. QUINTERO AND MARY KAY RUMMEL
The place is Alma Rosa Winery in California. Amidst rolling hills, olive groves, vineyards, forests, and black-and-white cows grazing, there is room for a few humans in the rustic tasting room. As we enter, we hear the host explain the write-ups of the wines on the menu: “We have shifted our tasting notes to telling stories instead of telling what you need to look for.”
We read on these tasting notes,
Story for 2012 Pinot Noir—La Encantada Vineyard
“Swan Lake” ballet transposed into wine: the beauty and the balance, the drama and the darkness…graceful and elegant, seductive and beguiling with a sense of tension beneath the surface. Our future is what but unknown, leaving us only the moment, this moment, time to pour another glass and release our imaginations to soar in the winged embrace of the Black Swan.
STORIES LEAD TO STORIES…
This thinking and talking and sipping brought a favorite topic of ours to mind about how art and life so richly reflect each other. We were reminded of the student teacher in a kindergarten classroom in Brooklyn. She told the children the story of her study-abroad trip to Amsterdam by displaying prints of van Gogh’s paintings, reading a biographical storybook about the artist, and then she engaged the children in a discussion of her favorite painting, My Bedroom. The children went on to think about their favorite “rooms” at home for each of them and began ← 1 | 2 → to draw, paint, and create their stories as they did. Their stories were uncensored, poignant, and sometimes funny.
STORIES LEAD TO STORIES…
Then we reflected on the ways poetry creates visual and historical stories, through generations, into the future. Another art form using story to connect us and our loved ones…
Between Rivers
for Sylvie
Tell us, Orion, great hunter
while you pace our land,
where can we anchor the tents
of our many languages, our longings?
Who will hear us through the din
of so many singing tongues?
The moon waxes and wanes
across black sky thick with stars,
with shrieks and cries of hawk, crow, owl,
with words I’ve forgotten,
buried dialects, whole alphabets
on the far side of rivers.
They crowd my mouth
adding weight and grit
to what I can’t express,
a slow Irish song that rolls
from my tongue to my new
dark-haired granddaughter.
From her eyes, somewhere between
the depths of the Nile, the Rhine
and the green marshlands of the Shannon,
between sun struck Charles
