@KarlMarxovChain
The Karl Marxov Chain responds to a word that users (or Pereira) seed it to guide its search through Karl Marx’s publications, as described. When it gets the seed word, it finds it in the text and takes not the next word, but the next two words. The first two words of this 3-gram are first two words of the tweet. It then takes not the last of these words, but the last two and searches the text for that pair of words. Then, of all of the times that those words appear together, it picks one at random, adds the last word to the chain, and then moves up a word. The result is that the probabilities are a bit more constricted, meaning that the tweet conforms a bit more closely to the original text, meaning it ends up sounding a bit more like normal English. The bot also cheats a bit and tries to make “complete” sentences (start with a word that has an initial capital in the source text and end with a period), but it’s not always successful. The source texts are also not the cleanest in the world, so it sometimes hiccups and tosses out typographical gibberish. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

Sootfall
This literary work created on Twitter could be labelled in different ways— twitfic (or twiction), alternate reality game, netprov, e-lit, e-poetry, or performance— and each label would contribute to an understanding of what this is without wholly capturing what it is. Launched on February 4, 2013, this month-long creative event is now complete. From what I can reconstruct, Gaines, Gass, and the rest of the development team conceptualized the setting, plotted out a timeline, created Twitter accounts for its main characters and launched “Sootfall.” As people found out about the event through social networks, they were able to follow its characters or read the stories as they unfolded around the #sootfall hashtag, a means to identify tweets used in many, but not all entries, because one of the challenges was to make the characters seem real— and why would someone randomly tag their Twitter entries without a plausible reason? Eventually the tag became a tacitly agreed upon way for the characters to refer to the event which was to change their lives so substantially.

Metaphor-a-Minute
This Twitter bot generates a metaphor every two minutes (in spite of its name, since Twitter places limits on automated posting), and it is more than sufficient. The constraint provides a little breathing room to consider the metaphor before facing a new one. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

Walt FML Whitman
This poetic mashup Twitter bot places Walt Whitman in conversation with contemporary people expressing their frustrations in social networks. To be precise, he repurposes Darius Kazemi’s “Latour Swag” code to remix two different Twitter sources: @TweetsOfGrass and original tweets with the #fml hashtag.

Willy Shakes
“Willy Shakes” was programmed by Joshua Strebel in 2009 and set into motion publishing the complete works of William Shakespeare on Twitter, calculating that “every 10 minutes a new line, 24/7/365. Should take about 2 years, 13 days… and finish around August 24th 2011.” (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

Walt Whitman
“Walt Whitman” isn’t a bot, it is a constraint an anonymous scholar took on: to tweet a portion from the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass (almost) every day, sequentially from beginning to end, over and over. I use the word “scholar” because of the foregrounding and choice of edition (which edition of Shakespeare is Strebel using?) and the method of the constraint which forces the scholar to read each line when cutting and pasting it. This discipline has the powerful impact of keeping the scholar’s mind focused on this poet’s work on a daily basis, re-discovering Whitman’s poetry over time, and gaining insight in the process.

Five Days
This film was created in a very short amount of time during an experimental course in Bergen, Norway.
The assignment consisted of everyone receiving a fictional character who had recently experienced a "strange event" and was sent to Bergen to try and figure out what the root cause was. Each student was put into a group of about four, and it was up to the team to figure out a way to tell a narrative, while still weaving together some very random stories, events, and details. Our group decided on showing our narrative via a film. There are perhaps some gaps in the narrative logic, but perhaps a little character info can help fill those.
Jackson Sullivan: woke up on day on an island in his hometown with strange ruins tattooed onto his arm. He heads to Bergen to decipher them.
David Butler: an older gentlemen possessing the diary of his explorer grandfather. Inside is information regarding Norse ruins...
Aurora Berg: a British spy is doing her best to warn the world of potential harm.
Liam Omar: a scuba diver who notices the strange rise in water levels in the Bergen area. What can it mean?
