MyBrother.tv (mbtv)
is a word‑context based artwork designed to drift outside your bubble and spark fresh inspiration — a
playful exploration through the digital jungle. It follows the structure of Wikipedia articles and algorithmically cuts around that context to
compose a living stream.
is not just a tool — it’s an evolving artwork, a digital labyrinth of
context and chance. Imagine Wikipedia, but sliced, shuffled, and re‑woven into a stream of living
associations.
A semantic playground, part dada, part algorithm, part oracle.
Currently, mbtv runs on three distinct engines, each with its own rhythm and personality:
A smooth, triadic flow of videos — rhythmic, balanced, playful. Think of it as an endless mixtape stitched together by semantic threads.
A restless associative network guided by Hebbian learning ("cells that fire together, wire
together").
It strengthens co‑occurring terms to spin new semantic bridges, creating animal‑focused
flows
seeded
by the phrase “atom bomb” (English). It is adaptive, novelty‑aware, and slightly
unpredictable:
Controls: “−” = loosen up, wander further, embrace entropy.
“+” = tighten focus, stick closer to strong associations.
A cross‑cultural patchwork seeded by “herz.” Warm, eclectic, and global in spirit — weaving together fragments across languages and traditions. A gentle chaos with a pulse.
Once: Wikipedia, but atomized and remixed. For now: asleep. Check this clip.
For developers and coders: the semantic stream can be summoned into your own
projects as an
npm module.
