First bot The Rimbaud Bot - Lucie-Brosson/Big_Data_and_Self-project-y2s2 GitHub Wiki

I remember when I was in primary school we had to learn about Rimbaud and his poem 'Voyelle' (vowel).

Vowels

_ A black, E white, I red, U green, O blue: vowels,_

I shall tell, one day, of your mysterious origins:

A, black velvety jacket of brilliant flies

which buzz around cruel smells,

Gulfs of shadow; E, whiteness of vapours and of tents,

lances of proud glaciers, white kings, shivers of cow-parsley;

I, purples, spat blood, smile of beautiful lips

in anger or in the raptures of penitence;

U, waves, divine shudderings of viridian seas,

the peace of pastures dotted with animals, the peace of the furrows

which alchemy prints on broad studious foreheads;

O, sublime Trumpet full of strange piercing sounds,

silences crossed by [Worlds and by Angels]:

–O the Omega! the violet ray of [His] Eyes!

Rimbaud

In it he talk about the different colour and identity the vowels has he saw them : A = black, E = white, I = red, U = green, O = blue.

I wanted to play on this concept and created the Rimbot who takes tweets and traduce them in his palette. With it you lose the integrity of the text to the colour that guide your eyes. The dots become the rhythm of this visual poetry.

You can access the code with google collab.
