  5. Gnoetry

    Gnoetry is an on-going experiment in human/computer collaborative poetry composition.

    Gnoetry synthesizes language randomly based on its analysis of existing texts. Any machine-readable text or texts, in any language, can serve as the basis of the Gnoetic process. Gnoetry generates sentences that mimic the local statistical properties of the source texts. This language is filtered subject to additional constraints (syllable counts, rhyming, etc.) to produce a poem.

    For our early work with Gnoetry, we have used classic out-of-copyright texts like Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Veblen's Theory of the Leisure Class (obtained from the wonderful Project Gutenberg), as well as other sources such as rap lyrics, the complete lyrics of Bob Dylan and Reuters newswire stories.

    A key aspect of the Gnoetry software is the ability of a human operator to intervene in the language generation cycle, helping to "guide" the artistic process and to produce a result that is a true collaboration of equals.

  6. 217 Views of the Tokaido Line

    The great Japanese travel artists - Basho, Hiroshige, Soseki - are used as models for a digital journal about traveling the Tokaido train line (Kyoto-Tokyo) with my daughter. Working against the implicit linearity of the journey-the forward motion of the train-the six-minute video loop, with generative haiku, is designed to evoke the ephemeral jolts of contemporary travel and to uncover the moments lost in any narrative retelling.

  7. Peter's Haiku Generator

    This Javascript program generates either haiku or tanka, as you prefer. The poems normally adhere strictly to the syllabic contraints of those forms, though occasionally the program will determine that its creativity cannot be so fettered, and it will produce a poem that breaks the rules. If you're presented with a 27 syllable haiku, count yourself lucky - it doesn't happen often.

  9. Tape Mark I

    The early “Tape Mark” poems by Nanni Balestrini (1961) appropriate texts by Lao Tzu (Tao Te Ching), Paul Goldwin (The Mystery of the Elevator), and Michihito Hachiya (Hiroshima Diary). (Source: C.T. Funkhouser 2007: 12) The Cybernetic Serendipity catalog reports that the operations involved withbthe successful production of Balestrini’s “Tape Mark” poems required the author to create 322 punched cards and 1,200 instructions into the computer (Balestrini, “Tape Mark I” 55).

  10. La Machine à Écrire (The typewriter)

    This work is a good illustration of the notion of "computer-assisted literature" («littérature assistée par ordinateur»). Jean Baudot realized a combinatorial program, then gathered the generated texts in a book (La machine à écrire). In these examples, the computer was used to prolong previous literary approaches. In this experimental period, the output remained the printed or recited text.
