So yeah, I'm autistic and this morning I was trying to think who should host my daft/brilliant idea for an international festival for autistic musicians and singers called Neurovision, so I searched for "famous queer autistic people" because I wasn't awake enough to think of anyone and... these were the first two results and I spat my tea
eBay stop you're creeping me out
Anyway who would you have host it?
I trained a text-generating neural network on a tab-separated list of the artist names, song titles, and home countries of all Eurovision Song Contest finalists since 2000, as extracted from the Wikipedia page for each year's contest.
Most of what it spit out, as I kind of expected, was complete nonsense. But on several occasions, it ended up outputting things that sounded like they could totally be the next big hit:
Aldora & Canderkos (Russia): "I Love Me Worm"
Marie Gesman (Norway): "This Is a Love On"
Lusi Giras (Azerbaijan): "Rind Star"
Jon Troudy (Cyprus): "Alice of Love"
Polica Konterg (Croatia): "Thy Lady Bleng"
Hafian and Simedend (Ireland): "It Tree Day"
Rorzu Bebra (Italy): "Shave Me"
Pojas Kerges & The Lien (Latvia): "Rovy Heart"
Želencina (Serbia): "Shenenex"
Orm (Norway): "This Inget Sond On Your Goat Bone"
Briand Angar (France): "My My Herge"
Jez Makeland (United Kingdom): "Cocky On Bay"
Fran Stugso (Moldova): "You Con You"
Lauri Like & Grouch (Belgium): "No Sope"
Borgia Todien (Sweden): "Lo My Ham"
Another round of neural-network-generated Eurovision song titles, along with their (equally fictional) performers:
Tan Sop (Estonia): "So Can You"
Licki Mode (United Kingdom): "Love You Go"
The Shain (Ukraine): "Telery Riku the Wolf"
Ivina Meshan (France): "Waterly Dand"
Erelina (Sweden): "Running Be Spore"
Bornickor Voševa (Romania): "The Worf"
Danina (Spain): "Shandied"
Doria Makaš (Belarus): "Midwine"
Rob-Sact (Sweden): "Mill Swing"
Cofini (Spain): "Crue dued"
Lorani (Iceland): "No Drençoit"
Sanna (Spain): "Make ma cood"
Harie Toda (Israel): "The Night and On My Sergium"
Eld Loree (Denmark): "You Are Son Bops"
Chary Porm (Netherlands): "My Narly Star"
Amon Die (Iceland): "We Mune Moment Night"
Serellu (Austria): "Love Bake for Your Love"
Karin Bengin (Greece): "Do My One Mart Hare"

“there outside in the open air in the theater of eyes when you shut it you open them there is no outside nor inside in the forest of prohibitions the marvelous sings grab it it’s within reach of your hand it is the moment when wo|man is the accomplice of lightening Crystallization the vision of desire the desire for vision not here not there but in-between here/there”, Octavio Paz. #artandlivingenergy is connecting outside of linear thought, that’s the #neurovision, we don’t know until we encounter, thank God for that extra part of being human, and it’s #openenergypainting. Some of us make it, and thank God for those who see it with us. Raw energy map from #Sonoma. #Grape colors decided they wanted to be on the work. #lovewhoyoulove , when you can it’s all new. And it can be every single day. #grace #abstractart #contemporaryart #artist and don’t forget #vulnerability , that is how the grace enters. #energyalwaysknowsmorethanwedo . Thank you poet Paz. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp2AN6Rjz1b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i1owwzsfseoa
