Poetry Machine (version 1.0)
The visitor enters a dimly lit room. On a projection screen runs the text that is written by nobody. The keys of the keyboard move as if by a ghost's hand. A monotone, mechanical voice reads out the generated text, sentence by sentence.
Without the public nearby, the system writes quickly and fluently. Thunderstorm of letters. Incessantly, one word follows the other. When visitors approach, the text generator staggers, hesitates, at times grows completely silent. The system leaves the scene to the observer and invites him to strike the keys himself. If he enters text, it appears on the screen like the machine's. Poetry Machine takes up his text and associates starting with his words. The flow of texts in the interplay between the human and the machine doesn't cease.
If the user's input contains words that are still unknown to Poetry Machine, the program sends autonomous „bots" into the internet to get appropriate informations. They evaluate the material found and feed the resulting data back into the system. The search process of the „bots" can be followed on a second screen. Visited sites, their valuation and the documents found are shown.
