Description (in English): 

A series of sound poetry recordings for which Brion Gysin was invited to perform for the BBC radio in 1960. These permutation poems include "I Am That I Am" (1959), "which is a cyclical, randomized representation of the three words contained in that phrase." (Funkhouser 2007:39).

Contributors note: 

Ian Sommerville programmed a software to generate these computer poems, which was reenacted by Joseph Moore as the "Permutation" software for the exhibition Brion Gysin: Dream Machine (2010) at the New Museum in New York.
