1. Auto-Beatnik

   Possibly the first computational poetry generator. Poems by the generator were published in Horizon Magazine and possibly in Time Magazine in 1962.

   "Librascope engineers, concerned with the problem of effective communication with machines in simple English, first ‘fed’ an LGP 30 computer with thirty-two grammatical patterns and an 850-word vocabulary, allowing it to select at random from the words and patterns to form sentences. The results included “Roses" and “Children". Then Worthy and his men shifted to a more advanced RPC 4000, fed with a store of about 3,500 words and 128 sentence structures, which produced … more advanced poems."

2. BRUTUS

   A story generator where stories centre around betrayal, as the title BRUTUS suggests.

   The date may be wrong - I can't find a clear date, but it was definitely around in 2000, maybe earlier.

3. Beabá

   Este programa foi concebido como um primeiro passo para gerar "palavras" ao acaso. A forma mais simples de gerar "palavras" ao acaso, seria sortear conjuntos de letras de vários comprimentos (por ex., conjuntos de cinco letras). Os conjuntos gerados teriam pouca semelhança com palavras de uma língua, se bem que, por acaso algumas das "palavras" geradas poderiam existir. Para gerar "palavras" com sonoridade semelhante à de uma determinada língua, devemos descobrir algumas de suas regras características . No caso do português, definimos as seguintes regras para nossas primeiras tentativas: a) As "palavras" teriam seis (6) letras . b) As "palavras" alternariam vogais (v) e consoantes (c). c) As probabilidades da escolha dos conjuntos vc e cv deveriam refletir as probabilidades com que estes conjuntos aparecem na língua portuguesa. Assim as palavras seriam do tipo cvcvcv ou vcvcvc. Para atribuir as probabilidades, deveriamos fazer um estudo detalhado das probabilidades com que, por ex., os vários pares cv e vc (ou tríades cvc e vcv) aparecem na língua purtuguesa, particularmente nas palavras com seis letras.

5. "A Machine Made of Words by a Machine Made of Numbers"- Authorial Presence in Niemi’s Stud Poetry

   Primary Text: Marko Niemi’s Stud Poetry, a demo of which would run during the presentation.

   The paper opens with a brief discussion of the inherently conservative nature of the ELO’s definition of electronic-literature and the critical tendencies which this encourages. It has a strong focus on those critics who identify the forms which electronic literature has taken as an extension of modernist experimentation in the Twentieth Century, while disregarding the new possibilities which programmable media furnishes the poet with.

   These possibilities are manifest in Niemi’s Stud Poetry, a text which has been consistently overlooked since its publication, perhaps because it presents a challenge to the dominant critical trends. Stud Poetry cannot fully be understood in terms of print-based modernist experimentation, Dada or Burroughs, because it would be impossible to achieve without a computer program. Niemi wrote the code which ‘writes’ each poem/game.

6. Cent mille milliards de poèmes (web version, 1997)

   Cette oeuvre de Magnus Bodin est une adaptation pour le web de Cent mille milliards de poèmes de Raymond Queneau. Comme le livre original qui permettait, à l'aide de dix suites de quatorze vers destinés à être recombinés, de créer 100,000,000,000,000 poèmes différents, ce générateur de texte distribue aléatoirement les vers écrits par Queneau afin de créer une nouvelle combinaison chaque fois que l'utilisateur l'active ou recharge la page.

7. In the Image of the Text

   An endless textual fiction is generated, freely inspired by the writings of Alain Robbe-Grillet. Certain words in the text are sent to a search engine and images are returned and inserted into the text.

   Original 2003 work appears to be offline, but there is a 2012 video installation of the same name, apparently using much of the same material.

9. Don't Let the Pigeon Run This App!

   This adaptation of the prize-winning children's book "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" is a combinatory work where children can choose between three options. The "Egg" mode generates a story without input from the child. The "Chick" mode lets the child choose from sets of objects and goals, for instance, "Complete this sentence: The Pigeon wants to... rule the world / drive a bus / eat your dinner." The story is then told with the child's choices inserted. In the "Big Pigeon" mode, the child can record their own story elements and a story is generated using the child's voice along with the pre-recorded audio.

10. BwO

    BwO (Body without Organs): All the words of the text from 'Mille Plateaux' are floating in space, disembodied from their pages, interconnected by a luminous thread; the code follows each word in its reading order, embodying a meta-body-without-organs in 3d space, charting diffuse abstract paths united by generative's logic thread.
