Dear
Voor mij waren het in dit gedicht de herhaling van de weinige, steeds weer dezelfde woorden waaruit het gedicht bestaat, die mij opvielen, en waar ik iets mee wilde doen. Omdat het gedicht waar ik voor gekozen heb uit slechts 13 woorden bestaat, gekozen uit een bestaande tekst, heb ik ervoor gekozen de gebruiker de mogelijkheid te geven deze woorden in een willekeurige volgorde te genereren, zodat er op deze manier een nieuw, steeds weer uniek gedicht ontstaat.

On Memory, the Muse, and Judy Malloy's its name was Penelope
This chapter is a contribution to the book, Rebooting Electronic Literature: Documenting Pre-Web Born Digital Media. It documents Judy Malloy's generative hypertext work, its name was Penelope, a remediation of Homer's Odyssey, which has so far appeared in four editions: (1) the original 1989 version ("exhibition version"), created with Malloy's own generative hypertext authoring system, Narrabase II, in BASIC on a 3.5-inch floppy disk; (2) a substantially revised Narrabase version, published in 1990; (3) the "Eastgate version" published on floppy disk and CD-ROM in 1993 and 1998 respectively; and (4) the "Scholar's version," which is a DOSbox emulation created under the auspices of the Critical Code Studies Working Group in 2016.

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.

Arriving Simultaneously on Multiple Far-Flung Systems
Beginning with punch cards, an IBM1130 computer, FORTRAN, and space exploration in the late 1960’s, Arriving Simultaneously on Multiple Far-Flung Systems is a virtual reading machine, created/recreated with JavaScript in a HTML/CSS structure and read “on-the-fly”. With a complex array of randomly-generated texts, the work mirrors the life of Diana, an early aerospace information retrieval programmer, who later worked to bring community networking to rural and urban areas. The gap between the acceptance of women programmers who worked — not only during WWII but also in the decades after WII — and the current dominance of men in the field, is core to this narrative of one woman’s journey through an environment of changing technologies.

Electronic Literature in the Anthropocene
Contemporary environmental traumas are placing formidable demands on the creative arts when it comes to interrogating their kaleidoscopic complexities and implications. Electronic literature that engages topics of climate, infrastructure, and nonhuman agency is in a promising position here, due to its recasting of extent literary and poetic traditions using the architectures of contemporary digital computing and communications infrastructure. These technologies are involved not just in measuring and mapping a rapidly degrading environment, but their developmental histories and continued functioning are implicated in both embedding and perpetuating the very effects being detected.

FALSE WORDS 流/言
FALSE WORDS 流/言 is an automatic writing machine recombining and reiterating the words “我沒有敵人” (I have no enemies), a quote by the late Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo in an endless cycles of word play.
Posing as an imaginary conversation, the writing machine spits out rounds of questions and answers by recombining the original words in real-time, forming sentences that are absurd, senseless while at times suggestive and provocative.
During the rounds of writing, an unexpected image and pattern emerges: the character “人” (human) becomes exceptionally legible and discernable, standing out amongst the obscured words and layered texts. These dispersed “humans” however are eventually being devoured and buried in the process of the endless writing, like all things in history.

Seedlings_
Seedlings_ is a digital media installation that plants words as seeds and lets them grow using the Datamuse API, a data-driven word-finding engine. It is at once an ambient piece in which words and concepts are dislocated and recontextualized constantly, and a playground for the user to create linguistic immigrants and textual nomads. In Seedlings_, a word can be transplanted into a new context, following pre-coded generative rules that are bundled under the names of plants (ginkgo, dandelion, pine, bamboo, ivy…). These generative rules consist of a series of word-finding queries to the Datamuse API such as: words with a similar meaning, adjectives that are used to describe a noun, words that start and end with specific letters. They are then grouped in modules to represent the visual structure of the corresponding plant and can be constrained with a theme word. A new plant can be grafted on top of the previous plant by switching to a new starting point from the latest generative result.
