SUMMARY:(Un)Natural Language: An Art Software Identifies Potential Ecologi
 cal Threats in Documents
DESCRIPTION:Peijing Mou (University of California Los Angeles)\n\nThis pap
 er introduces (Un)Natural Language, an artistic computational system that 
 examines how words shape ecological narratives, detecting potential ecolog
 ical threats in government water-related project documents. Weaving togeth
 er machine learning, environmental activism, and linguistics, the system o
 ffers a new analytical lens for interpreting public documents, uncovering 
 hidden narratives of economic expansion and extractivism. Through a custom
 -labeled dataset and a fine-tuned BERT model, it reveals and visualizes pa
 tterns of pro-growth and ecologically detrimental discourse. Developed int
 o an interactive online archive and installation series, the project recla
 ims computation as a space for reflection rather than control—inviting vie
 wers to rethink the language shaping our ecological futures.\n\nRegistrati
