1. Tokyo Garage

   A poetry generator for the imaginary city. Tokyo Garage is a remix of Nick Montfort's "Taroko Gorge" -- a nature poem generator built in javascript. Rettberg modified the code and substituted all of the language of Montfort's work to create this poetry generator, which plays with received stereotypes of the Tokyo metropolis and of urbanity in general. A machinimatic reading was prepared for the DAC 2009 conference, including a clown reading the poem to an imaginary audience.

2. Robert Coover Criticism Generator

   This is a prose generator, made for the occassion of Robert Coover's retirement from teaching at Brown University and a celebration of his career as an aspect of the 2010 ELO_AI Conference. The generator is based on texts of reviews of Coover's novels and published interviews he has done over the years. The generator pulls from and mashes up these texts, along with images of the novelist found on the Web, to create an almost-plausible critical text that refreshes itself frequently.

4. Yoko Engorged

   This erotically charged generative poem imagines John Lennon and Yoko Ono engaging in endless sexual exploration. This famous couple was controversially open about sexuality, nudity, and used their celebrity to cut through bourgeois prudishness. After Lennon’s death, Yoko Ono continued with her artistic and musical career, with creative practices associated with the Fluxus movement. For example, this poem uses the “audience volunteer(s)” to reference her famous performance piece titled “Cut Piece” in which audience members cut her clothing with scissors until she was naked on stage. This poem is a bold remix of Nick Montfort’s “Taroko Gorge” code, which started as “began with the rather awful titular play on words and just evolved/devolved from there.” (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

6. The Dark Side of the Wall

   This generative poem creates a mashup of lyrics from two famous Pink Floyd albums: The Wall and The Dark Side of the Moon. The poem is organized into tercets followed by a single line in which Waters or Gilmour “takes over,” signaling shifts in leading roles in the band, which has a history of turbulent power struggles. Each tercet is assembled from lines from each album, lending both coherence at the line level, and intriguing juxtapositions that reveal some of Pink Floyd’s poetics.

7. Scholars Contemplate the Irish Beer

   This generative poem transports its readers to Ireland, and all the water, sunshine, green fields, agriculture, and magic that goes into brewing its world-famous beers. This work is populated by poets, scholars, musicians, the pooka— a mischievous, dark, shape-shifting fairy creature— fields, blue lakes, valleys, forests, and other shapes taken by the land. All the people, faerie, and personified landscapes consider, contemplate, and dream of how they all are a part of the real and mystical brew that flows from St. James Gate.

   A peek into the source code reveals a key question by Malloy: “How would a poet drinking Guinness rewrite this work?” The work referred to is Nick Montfort’s “Taroko Gorge” which also produces an endless meditation of the components of a Chinese river gorge of the same name.

8. Tournedo Gorge

   This generative poem folds in two distinctly different activities— cooking and coding— to create a mélange that harmoniously foregrounds their similarities. For example, declaring variables and establishing a data set in a program is conceptually equivalent to listing ingredients and measurements in a recipe. Both recipes and code are executed sequentially: one by a cook, and another by the computer to produce output. From this perspective, the food produced from a recipe is much like the poem generated by the execution of its source code.

9. Camel Tail

   This generative work produces a 4 line stanza out of lines from Metallica albums every 5.5 seconds. It uses a single variable (“hair”) and a data set consisting of choice Metallica lines to produce what seems like endless Metallica lyrics.

10. Snowball

    This generative poem about snow, slipping, and falling is aggressively scheduled to produce a sensation of motion and slippage. One cannot keep up for very long as a reader of this poem, but this is not a big problem because reading a sampling of any of its verses will give you an idea of what the poem is about. Like narrative comic strips and soap operas, there is plenty of redundance built into its structure, so you can join in, leave it, and rejoin at any time.
