1. Travesty

   A Perl program for scrambling a text based on the frequency with which pairs of words appear in the original text. The result is a strange parody of the original It can also be used to scramble multiple texts - which creates a parody that algorithmically draws parallels between the two (because it reveals how some of the same idioms/structures are used between the two.)

   Travesty is often thought to have originated from the Perl hacker community - the Perl source is distributed as part of the Perl distribution, and in fact, it is popular with Perl hackers.

   However, the original implementation was written (not in Perl) in 1984 by literary critic Hugh Kenner and Joseph O'Rourke as an algorithmic poetry tool.
   They introduced it in an article in Byte magazine called "A Travesty Generator for Micros."

   So Travesty has its roots in both the literary world and geekdom.

3. Robopoem

   What is ROBOPOEM?
   Robopoem takes a block of text, analyses each word, and then assembles it into couplets with (approximately) the same rhythmic characteristics. Random words are also thrown into the mix to:
   achieve the desired syllable count
   add rhyming pairs
   mystify the reader
   Robopoem will be of most use to postmodern lyricists or lazy rock bands who don't really care about the semantic content of their songs. Here is a formula to generate verses or choruses:
   Count the number of beats in your melody line (every time you hit or pluck a note)
   Set the syllable count dropdown to match the number of beats
   Paste some text into the text input area
   Hit "Poem" and wait for the robot to wake up and do it's thing

5. Egoscope

   Egoscope was a teleintervention that happened in August, 2002 and allowed anyone to send, through egoscope web site, other sites to two commercial electronic billboards located in a movimented avenue of São Paulo (Faria Lima), used for veiculation of advertisings of many companies. By that time, the audience was invited to participate in an action that purposed to map a fluid character named egoscope, submitting URLs that were displayed in the panels (from 10h30 to 3h00 (GET), in intervals of 3' between other ads) and also on line by the panel webcam. Combining Internet and Intranet resources, egoscope configured a successful experience of open public streaming that received more than 2200 contributions, generating an interesting database of the multiple identities of our disembodied character. egoscope discussed not only new subjectivities formats, but also networked practices of authorship and reception intercepted by entropy and acceleration processes.

8. BRUTUS

   A story generator where stories centre around betrayal, as the title BRUTUS suggests.

   The date may be wrong - I can't find a clear date, but it was definitely around in 2000, maybe earlier.
