8 Brincadeiras para Salette Tavares
8 brincadeiras para Salette Tavares [8 games for Salette Tavares] is a set of eight texts which constitute a creative research in the area of cyberliterature. A polyphony of varied elements and variables, subject to a non-linear staging, in the center of these texts there are combinatorial and generative procedures in dialogue with the poetry and textual innovation of Portuguese author Salette Tavares. The average duration for reading this collection of eight texts is about eight minutes. Every 55 seconds, the page with the combinatorial or animated texts automatically redirects to a new work. Included in this work there are 6 combinatorial texts programmed by Rui Torres using the software for literary creation Poemario (Torres and Ferreira). The texts include: Text 1: Dentro da casa está o dentro - A porta I; Text 2: Dentro da casa está o dentro - A porta II; Text 4: Como a palavra o diz, o copo; Text 5: A boca e o copo entendem-se através da mão; Text 7: Os talheres são ferramentas delicadas; Text 8: Espelho mudo.

Takei, George
"Takei, George" is a remix of Nick Montfort's "Taroko Gorge," transforming Montfort's original meditative generative poem into a comment on pop culture, fandom, and contemporary politics.

Gorge
A gorge is a steep-sided canyon, a passage, a gullet. To gorge is to stuff with food, to devour greedily. Gorge is a poetry generator, a never-ending tract spewing verse approximations, poetic paroxysms on food, consumption, decadence and desire.
The source code for Gorge is a hack of Montfort’s elegant poetry generator Taroko Gorge.

Spine Sonnet
Spine Sonnet” (the app) is an automatic poem generator in the tradition of found poetry that randomly composes 14 line sonnets derived from an archive of over 2500 art and architectural theory and criticism book titles.
“Spine Sonnet” (the website) combines images of scanned book spines into stacks of 14 titles. Each time you refresh the browser you get a new combination.

Argot, Ogre, OK!
All of the prior remixes of Nick Montfort's _Taroko Gorge_ rewrote the text, while leaving Nick's code unchanged or almost so. I thought that was a shame. I also thought it was an opportunity! Since they all essentially consisted of word-lists plugged into a schema, I was able to remix them together on two axes at the same time:
* Combining the word-lists of any two poems;
* Mutating the stanza schema.I also took the opportunity to randomize the color schemes of the pages. (But not the font choices or the background imagery that some of the poems indulged in. Optima for everybody, I'm afraid.)
Nick's original poem generates a constant ABBA-C pattern, with some extra B's thrown in. This page essentially invents a new pattern (for example A-, or BC-BA, or CCC, or so on) for each block. The code for the pattern is on the left, and the generated output is on the right.
To answer the obvious question: Yes, this page really does execute the code that's displayed in the left column, and it really does generate the text in the right column.

Pressing the Reveal Code Key: Indra's Net VIII
This work uses the same basic structure as the author's earlier "Book Unbound".
"Reveal Code" takes a hidden text corpus and creates a "generative performance" based on a collocation algorithm. The audience can then choose phrases from the generative performance and set them aside on pages labeled Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis, where they can be edited freely. Selections will also become part of the hidden corpus; the text will, over time, evolve to the audience's taste.
More information can be found in the author's article "Pressing the 'Reveal Code' Key", EJournal, March 1996: http://www.ucalgary.ca/ejournal/archive/ej-6-1.txt
Similarly, "Potentialities of Literary Cybertext" (April 1996, Visible Language) also explores this hypertext more deeply.

The Policeman's Beard is Half-Constructed
With the exception of this introduction, the writing in this book was all done by a computer. The book has been proofread for spelling but otherwise is completely unedited. The fact that a computer must somehow communicate its activities to us, and that frequently it does so by means of programmed directives in English, does suggest the possibility that we might be able to compose programming that would enable the computer to find its way around a common language "on its own" as it were. The specifics of the communication in this instance would prove of less importance than the fact that the computer was in fact communicating something. In other words, what the computer says would be secondary to the fact that it says it correctly.

Moment
This is a generative poem you can visit for years and continue to find things to surprise and delight. It is structured around a text— aptly named as “a strand” (as in a fiber or rope made of letters or characters)— which is shaped by “aspects,” which are programmed structures that shape and transform the strands through color, animation, scheduling, formatting, and other transformations possible in DHTML. Considering there are 10 “strands” (plus a “user-fed strand”) each of which can be shaped by 36 different “aspects,” each of which can have multiple controls and toggles, you don’t have to do the math to realize that this is a work of staggering generative possibilities. Combined with a few randomization and combinatorial touches, this is a work that will always welcome you with fresh moments, inviting you to play with its structures.
