1. Fidget (Applet)

   Fidget is a transcription of writer Kenneth Goldsmith's every movement made during thirteen hours on June 16, 1997 (Bloomsday). This online edition includes the full text, a self-running Java applet version written by programmer Clem Paulsen, and a selection of RealAudio recordings from Theo Bleckmann's vocal-visual performance at the Whitney Museum of American Art on Bloomsday 1998.

   Fidget attempts to reduce the body to a catalogue of mechanical movements by a strict act of observation. Goldsmith aims to be objective like the photographer Edward Muybridge. In Fidget, Goldsmith reduces language to its basic elements in order to record and understand movement in its basic form. Despite these aims, the dictates of the work like the self-observation and the duration of the act, create a condition of shifting referent points and multiple levels of observation that undermine the objective approach.

2. Langlibabex

   Langlibabex is a multilingual collaboration that departs from our shared experience of reading and responding in constrained poetic forms to Jorge Luis Borges’s short story “The Library of Babel.” As collaborators who met at ELO 2014 and shared conversation in three languages, we are committed to working in French, English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and translating one another’s work across continents and media.

3. The ChessBard Plays

   In short, the ChessBard inputs the algebraic notation for a chess game in .PGN format (digital file format for archived chess games) and outputs a poem. The poems are based on 12 source poems I wrote, 6 poems for the white pieces, 6 poems for the black pieces: there is a 64 word poem for each colour’s pawns, knights, rooks, bishop, queen and king. When a piece lands on a square it triggers a word from the source poems and the translator compiles them together and outputs a poem. For more, see http://chesspoetry.com/about/about/. The site itself includes a translator capable of inputting any chess game in .pgn format as well as a playable version that combines the translator with a chess-playing AI. In my performance I play a game versus the ChessBard on chesspoetry.com and project it and the subsequent poems that are translated in real-time.

4. Polarities

   This kinetic poetry generator is based on the texts by two polar authors, husband and wife, Anna Akhmatova and Nikolay Gumilev. Letters from their decomposed texts are moving according to the magnetic field principle like positively and negatively charged particles. The work is produced by two authors, a computer programmer and an artist, who are also husband and wife.

5. 1/2/3

   1/2/3 is an elliptical videopoem based on Russian minimalist poet Vsevolod Nekrasov’s “Utopia” and footage from Mozhaysky region of Moscow. Each time three random photos containing a space where a text could appear are shown at three interactive screens. Being touched each photo transforms to video where one out of ten lines of Nekrasov’s poem appears. The viewer never knows which of these evasively poetic lines were documented or added with digital tools. (ELO 2015 catalog)

7. BDP: Big-Data Poetry

   Big data is a buzzword, as is cloud computing. But the data science and network-clusters behind both of these terms present extraordinary viable unprecedented computationally-tractable opportunities for language processing and radical poetry generation. In the summer of 2014 I took an intensive 11-week course in data science programming using Python. Based upon this theoretical and practical coding knowledge, I produced http://bdp.glia.ca, research where I apply a combination of data visualization, language analytics, classification algorithms, entity recognition and part-of-speech replacement techniques to a corpus of 10,557 poems from the Poetry Foundation, 57,000+ hip-hop rap songs from Ohhla.com, and over 7,000 pop lyrics. Currently the poems generated lack thematic structure.

8. Grita

   It is a digital poem that can only be read by screaming to the screen. Once the user screams the verses of the poem appear and when the user stops, the words are not longer seen. It is an interactive sound poem. It can be related to Loss of Grasp by Serge Bouchardon and Vincent Volckaert and Zang Tumb Tumb by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. Aburto is a Peruvian poet and professor at the PUCP. Having worked in Communicative Arts has permitted him use different formats for his poetry: oral, written and digital. His Peruvian origin can be seen in the way his work relates to other 2000s writers from Peru: vindication of publication of poetry and interest for combining conceptual, textual and visual aspects. In this work, the use of the screen, the microphone and the appearing and disappearing letters permit a communicative situation between poet and reader, the reader becomes a creator of the poem because his participation is essential for watching the words. The effort of crying out loud that the work demands to the reader increases the effects of the messages of desperation and vindication

9. JanusNode

   JanusNode is a user-configurable dynamic textual projective surface. It can create original texts using a rule-based system or can morph your texts using Markov chaining and various other techniques. It has been described (albeit generously) as 'Photoshop for text'.

   JanusNode is the direct descendent of an old program called 'McPoet' that I started writing in the mid-80s. The program has been in sporadic but continuous development since that time. I do not intend to definitively stop working on it in my lifetime.

We’ve gathered the transcripts of the latest Republican and Democratic presidential debates, and programmatically stirred in hundreds of lines of classic poetry. Pick a candidate, poet, and style below, and see what beauty you can generate.
