1. Sea and Spar Between

   Sea and Spar Between is a poetry generator which defines a space of language populated by a number of stanzas comparable to the number of fish in the sea, around 225 trillion. Each stanza is indicated by two coordinates, as with latitude and longitude. The words in Sea and Spar Between come from Emily Dickinson’s poems and Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. Certain compound words (kennings) are assembled from words used frequently by one or both. Sea and Spar Between was composed using the basic digital technique of counting, which allows for the quantitative analysis of literary texts.

3. Seattle Drift

   “Seattle Drift” leads us to think about different poetic “scenes” and how a text can enter and exit these poetic traditions through the deceptively simple mechanism of “drifting.”

4. Suicide in an Airplane

   Suicide in an Airplane is a flash-based algorithmic poem/painting in black and white. Poet Brian Kim Stefans, using text derived from pages of The New York Times, has created a work in which terms associated with a hijacking incident randomly appear on the screen. The words, which have the appearance of pencil doodling, break into separate letters and chaotically bounce around the screen, sometimes disintegrating on impact with other text, other times moving about in what seems to be a floating anagram. Accompanied by tone cluster piano chords in a composition by Leo Ornstein, the text seems to pulse with the music. At times, letters fly into objects constructed of other text and explode in sync with music that mimics the scream of jet engines.

5. Poemedia

   Poemedia is a “digital poetry on paper” installation and live performance by Aaron Angello (sound) and Erin Costello (video). As the audience enters the space, they see 150 8.5” x 11” sheets of card stock suspended from 1-8 feet above the ground hanging from the ceiling. Four video projectors display a live (or recorded) video performance onto the cards.

   This installation challenges the already uncertain definitions of digital poetry.

   It calls into question the definition of the screen.

   It asks: what is the role of poetry, page poetry specifically, in a digitized, information saturated world? Some video output is found images from various media sources and some video is original video from the artists. It is presented as a montage/collage/remix style performance with cinematic elements.

6. Taroko Gorge

   A poetry generator produced first in Python and then implemented in Javascript, Montfort's "Taroko Gorge" generates nature poetry about the national park of the same name in Taiwan. Since its initial publication, the program has been hacked, remixed, and reimplemented by a number of other authors.

8. Fred & George

   Fred and George Weasley are the redheaded twins from the Harry Potter series and this poem poses them as lovers, endlessly stroking (etc.) fingers, wands, mouths, etc. and generally engaging in acts considered taboo for siblings in most cultures. This “Taroko Gorge” remix has the distinction of having the shortest data set among the remixes to date, proving that when one wishes to produce an endless poem, size doesn’t matter. More importantly, it concentrates the number of permutations of its elements so while it becomes repetitive sooner, it also takes less time to reach its conceptual climax.

9. Kluge: A Mediation

   ulti-purpose digital text object. The text was written according to a basic constraint; each paragraph had to be 20-lines long, 60 characters across, with no words hyphenated and carried over to the next line. To read, the user scrapes away the letters with the mouse (be sure to click on the Flash app to make it active). Individual letter keys create algorithmically defined new texts based on the original 36 paragraphs. (Source: Author's website)
