About this site

Hey there 👋🏻, creative explorer! Welcome to the magical intersection of language, art, and technology. This is your stage where words transform into visual symphonies, painting a masterpiece as unique as your thoughts.

What's the big idea? You whisper us a line of text (up to 240 characters – old-tweet-sized!), and our brilliant language wizard gets to work. It's not just any wizard, though. It maps out these interpretations to about 100 handcrafted concepts, ranging from joyous highs to melancholic lows. It's like the language wizard is an artist, thoughtfully mixing colors on a palette to best match your words.

This mapping undergoes a computational ballet, whirling through a high-dimensional space (think 1000+ dimensions!). The dance ends with the projection of this space into a constellation of 2D points – the blueprint for your unique signature.

But don't worry, we don't leave it floating around in that vast space. The multidimensional ties are then distilled down into a constellation of 2D points. This creates the blueprint for your unique signature – a stellar map derived from the galaxy of your words.

The grand finale? Your signature is crafted by connecting the stars, birthing a visual marvel as unique as your DNA. It's your words, your essence, molded into a captivating, personal, and timeless work of art.

And the best part? This isn't just an ephemeral digital masterpiece. You can bring your signature to life as a generative art piece, ready to adorn a wall as a poster 🖼️, make a style statement on a t-shirt 👕, or even get inked on your skin as a tattoo!


Reveal the Magic: Show or Hide Concepts

You know what makes this journey even more exciting? You're not just a passenger in this artistic adventure; you're in the driver's seat, and we've got some controls for you!

One such control is the ability to reveal or conceal the concepts that make up your unique signature. Remember those handcrafted concepts our language wizard used to understand and interpret your text? Well, they don't just disappear into the ether. They form a part of your signature, adding layers of meaning and complexity.

Here's what happens when you choose to 'Show Concepts': The concepts become visible atop your signature, like ethereal wisps of wisdom that trace the genesis of your artwork. Each concept is tethered to a point on your signature, embodying the beautiful symphony between your words, their meanings, and how they all come together in a harmonious dance.

And what about if you decide to 'Hide Concepts'? Your signature transforms into a piece of abstract art – a mysterious beauty stripped of visible concepts but still undeniably shaped by them. It's a clean, sleek visual representation of your words, freed from concepts and bursting with interpretive possibilities.

The power to display your signature's origin story or keep it under wraps lies in your hands. So, play around with the 'Show Concepts' and 'Hide Concepts' options to see which style resonates with you. After all, this art is a reflection of you – and you get to decide how it's presented!


Shape Your Artwork: Concept Visualization Options

Want to dive deeper into the artistic process and have more control over your signature's formation? We've got just the thing for you: a choice to visualize your signature using a different number of concepts!

Remember the part where our language wizard relates your input text to a range of handcrafted concepts? Well, you now have the power to decide how many of these concepts you'd like to use in the formation of your signature. You can choose to use 5, 10, 15, or 20 concepts.

This means you get to influence how complex or simple your art piece becomes.

Using 5 concepts will give you a more abstract, simplified representation of your text. With fewer concepts, your signature leans more into the realm of interpretive art – each curve and line a broader stroke, embodying a simpler interpretation of your text.

On the other end of the spectrum, choosing to use 20 concepts will result in a more intricate, detailed signature. With more concepts in play, your signature becomes a denser constellation, showcasing a more nuanced dance between your words and their myriad possible meanings.

Play around with these options. See how the signature morphs and evolves with each change. Discover which setting captures the spirit of your words in a way that resonates most with you. With this level of customization at your fingertips, your signature truly becomes a co-creation between you and our language wizard!


Your Signature, Your Masterpiece: The Download Option

We've brought the magic of language to life in the digital sphere. But what if we told you that you could carry this magic into the tangible world? Intrigued? Read on!

Presenting the 'Download' button, your key to unlock limitless possibilities! With a single click, you can download your unique signature. And here's the best part: your artwork is exported as an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file.

What does this mean, you ask? SVG is a type of digital graphic which, unlike pixel-based formats, doesn't lose quality when it's resized. So, whether you want a small print to place on your desk, a medium-sized poster for your bedroom wall, or a massive billboard-sized display, your signature will maintain its sharpness and clarity.

You can even use this SVG file to print on fabric for a bespoke t-shirt, or give it to your tattoo artist to ink your unique design. And remember, SVG files can be opened and edited in many graphic software, so feel free to add your personal touch before printing!

With our 'Download' option, you have the power to take your words-turned-art and make them a part of your everyday life. So, go on, click that button and let your signature take flight from the digital world into the physical one!


Meet the Creator: Marc Puig

Hey there, it's time to meet the wizard behind the curtain!

Hello, I'm Marc Puig, your resident software architect, and generative artist. You might be wondering, "What's a generative artist?" Well, it's someone who uses algorithms and computational methods to create art. Cool, right?

But I'm not just about the binary codes and intricate algorithms. I've got a creative streak and a love for words that's as vast as the universe itself. For a long time, I've been fascinated with Natural Language Processing (NLP) and text, captivated by the sheer power of words and their infinite possibilities. I wanted to weave this fascination into my art, to create something that blends the beauty of language with the precision of computational creativity.

And voila, here we are! This website is the manifestation of that dream. We're creating unique signatures from your texts using large language models. This fascinating process takes your words, understands their meanings, relates them to a curated list of concepts, and eventually brings them to life in a visually stunning form.

So, welcome to this incredible journey where art meets language, algorithms dance with words, and together we create something that's as unique as you are. I hope you have as much fun exploring and creating here as I had building this for you. Now go ahead, let's see the magic your words can create!


Behind the Scenes: The Technical Magic

Curious about what's happening under the hood? Strap in, because we're about to take a peek into the technical wizardry that powers this site!

The process of converting your text into a 2D visual representation isn't a straightforward one. It's an artistic journey through the realms of high-dimensional spaces. Your text, once understood and interpreted by our language model, exists in a complex, multidimensional realm – we're talking 1000+ dimensions!

Now, how do we go from this dizzying, high-dimensional space to the smooth, visual representation you see on your screen? That's where dimensionality reduction techniques come into play. Their job is to take this high-dimensional data and project it into a simpler 2D space, while still retaining as much meaningful information as possible.

I've experimented with various projection methods, each with their own unique quirks and capabilities. Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a popular technique, didn't quite hit the mark for our purpose, mainly due to the small amount of data we work with.

Then came t-SNE and UMAP, two other well-known methods. They performed much better, yielding visually pleasing results. And let's not forget about the random projection matrix, another interesting player in this projection game!

After countless tests, visualizations, and late-night coding sessions, I finally stumbled upon a solution that worked. And the specifics of that? Well, that's my little secret!

But, rest assured, every detail of this process is designed with one goal in mind – to transform your words into a breathtaking piece of generative art that you can truly call your own. It's an intersection of art and technology, a balance of aesthetic beauty and technical precision, all culminating in your unique signature.
