ppg256 (Perl Poetry Generator in 256 Characters)
Author description: ppg256-1, the first program in the ppg256 series, was Montfort's new year's poem for 2008. It is a Perl program that generates poems without recourse to any external dictionary, word list, or other data file. It was written, in part, to determine the essential elements of a poetry generator. The program itself is shorter than this description.

Leaving the City: Indra's Net V
A HyperCard stack consisting of an interactive literary piece. "Leaving the City" takes two works - a lecture on poetry, and a poem - and blends them via collocational algorithms. The algorithm takes a word chosen and, based on the x-coordinates of the cursor, will randomly choose which text to move into. By creating a branching work - the two texts flow in and out of each other based on the underlying scripts - these "collocational jumps" generate a unique text.

Feed
Our deeply ingrained need to trust language enables Feed to generate an endless simulacrum of social commentary cum mythopoeic narrative spontaneously from largely random associations of charged words. It presents cultural observation through the blind eye of chance. The blank passing moment becomes the creator of mythos. It allows us the opportunity to turn ambiguity into poetry, absurdity into satire, unexpected fortuitous alignments into insight. Feed chronicles the mechanisms of the chronicle rather than its subjects. It removes “realism” from the equation, flirting with the meaningless and parading arbitrary associations before the reader under the banners of archetype and metaphor. Feed historicizes, editorializes, moralizes, sings, dances, and wears funny hats, all in the name of “analyzing” its own inventions.

The Permutated Poems of Brion Gysin
A series of sound poetry recordings for which Brion Gysin was invited to perform for the BBC radio in 1960. These permutation poems include "I Am That I Am" (1959), "which is a cyclical, randomized representation of the three words contained in that phrase." (Funkhouser 2007:39).

...and by islands I mean paragraphs
"...and by islands I mean paragraphs" casts a reader adrift on a sea of white space extending far beyond the horizon of the browser window, to the north, south, east and west. Navigating (with mouse, track pad, or arrow keys) reveals that this sea is dotted with islands... and by islands I mean paragraphs. These paragraphs are computer-generated. Their fluid compositions draw upon variable strings containing fragments of text harvested from a larger literary corpus - Deluze's Desert Islands, Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, Bishop's Crusoe in England, Coetzee's Foe, Ballard's Concrete Island, Hakluyt's Voyages and Discoveries, and lesser-known sources, including an out-of-date guidebook to the Scottish Isles and an amalgam of accounts of the classical and possibly fictional island of Thule. "Individually, each of these textual islands is a topic – from the Greek topos, meaning place. Collectively they constitute a topographical map of a sustained practice of reading and re-reading and writing and re-writing islands. In this constantly shifting sea of variable texts one never finds the same islands twice... and by islands, I do mean paragraphs."

Monoclonal Microphone: The Movie
A looping video (c. 20 mins – time could be adjusted) that both explores the world of “Monoclonal Microphone” and also reveals certain processes from its open-ended manufacture/generation. The video zooms in and out of a large field of generated poems; shows the underlying program running (generating verses and searching for them with internet search); and provides some expository captioning for the project. More information can be found at http://programmatology.shadoof.net/index.php?p=works/monoclonal/monoclon... (Source: ELO 2015 Conference Catalog)

Notes Very Necessary
Notes Very Necessary is a collaboratively authored web-based multi-media essay that aims to addresses climate change by remixing images, text, and data generated by centuries imperialist, colonialist, capitalist, and scientific exploration in the Arctic. The title is borrowed from an essay authored in 1580 by the Englishmen Arthur Pet and Charles Jackman offering detailed instructions on how to conquer new territories by taking copious notes. In 2015 Barbara Bridger and J. R. Carpenter attempted to follow these instructions by making, finding, and faking notes, images, data, and diagrams online and reconfiguring them into a new narrative. The result is a long, horizontally scrolling, highly variable collage essay charting the shifting melting North.

Shan Shui
Shan Shui generates landscape paintings and corresponding texts, parts of which are glossed in English when the user mouses over them. The English-language reader gains a perspective on the text, but (as if reading through intense fog) can make out only one or two characters at time, losing the forest through the trees. One relationship is to work that pairs landscapes and poems, such as Ed Falco and Mary Pinto's Chemical Landscapes Digital Tales; another is to systems that generates paired images and texts, such as Talan Memmont’s Self Portraits(s) [as Other(s)]. Also relevant are John Cayley’s literary texts, some in Chinese, that provide glosses and translations.
