Designer Gulch
This generative poem explores the design world— populated by artists, models, assistants, photographers, interns, corporate clients, and others shaped by their desires for fame and profit shape their dreams. Conceptualized as a ” a never-ending epic of graphic labor” this “Taroko Gorge” remix was installed at the Berliner Technische Kunsthochschule and it is the first one to respond to user input. In this case, a motion sensor camera triggers a few lines of poetry every time a person enters the building, and displays the poem on two monitors. Interestingly enough, as the very same kinds of people featured in the poem walk in they can read about their ongoing labors, elevated to Sysiphean absurdity through permutation.

@KarlMarxovChain
The Karl Marxov Chain responds to a word that users (or Pereira) seed it to guide its search through Karl Marx’s publications, as described. When it gets the seed word, it finds it in the text and takes not the next word, but the next two words. The first two words of this 3-gram are first two words of the tweet. It then takes not the last of these words, but the last two and searches the text for that pair of words. Then, of all of the times that those words appear together, it picks one at random, adds the last word to the chain, and then moves up a word. The result is that the probabilities are a bit more constricted, meaning that the tweet conforms a bit more closely to the original text, meaning it ends up sounding a bit more like normal English. The bot also cheats a bit and tries to make “complete” sentences (start with a word that has an initial capital in the source text and end with a period), but it’s not always successful. The source texts are also not the cleanest in the world, so it sometimes hiccups and tosses out typographical gibberish. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)
