1. Penelope

   Penelope is a combinatory sonnet generator film based on the Odyssey, addressing themes of longing, mass extinction, and migration. Recombinations of lines of the poem, video clips, and musical arrangements produce a different version of the project on each run. Penelope was co-produced by Alejandro Albornoz (Sound), Roderick Coover (Video), and Scott Rettberg (Text and Code). Using a similar combinatory structure to that of Raymond Queneau's Cent mille milliards de poèmes, the computer-code-driven combinatory film can produce millions of variations of a sonnet that weaves and then unweaves itself. The program writes 13 lines of a sonnet and then reverses the rhyme scheme at the center couplet. Each 26 line poem is produced as an audiovisual composition, with lines spoken by voice actress Heather Morgan. The system determines their composition, produces and plays the video and musical composition, and then displays the text of the generated poem before composing a new sonnet pair. The videos by Roderick Coover and the sound compositions by Alejandro Albornoz also recombine in an algorithmic structure.

3. CHOEUR

   CHOEUR is basically an installation whose heart is made of poetry.

   In the "window" stand a number of characters. It is the inhabitants of a particular castle, men and women, who challenge the visitor. " Come here. Psst, psst ... Do you want to hear a poem? "

   They are poets from Quebec and Belgium. Delayed poetic presences and reduced to the proportions of the castelet.

   When, to answer the call, the visitors approach the window, the poets recite at the same time a flow of worms which are not confused. Then, gradually, they give each other the floor. The verses are linked together, quickly at the beginning, then more slowly until only one poet is heard. He says his poem - the others let it say - then gradually fades, leaving room for a sound and visual, a landscape echoing poetry. Then the ground comes alive, the text is visual. When the last word of the poet falls, the others come back and challenge the visitor again.
