1. Tweet Haikus

   This bot data mines a 1% sample of the public Twitter stream to identify tweets that could be considered haiku. It then republishes the result, formatting it as can be seen above, and retweets the original in its Twitter account. The page the haikus are published in uses random background images of nature, a nod towards the seasonal reference so valued in this poetic tradition. (Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

3. 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."

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. ...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."

9. Story Machine

   This simple, animated story-generator was targeted at young children learning to read and write. It had a limited 40 word vocabulary and could either run automatically, or the user could type in sentences using the set vocabulary. As the user typed, the characters would appear in the illustration window, and when the user typed the period at the end of a sentence, the action described would be animated.

10. Spam Heart

    "A combinatoric poem composed by cut and splicing arrays. "Generative poems built out of spam, code, thesis work and a little bit of language's heart." Coded in Flash in 2010."
