1. Mar de versos

   Mar de versos –Sea of Verses- is a poetic digital work that explores the automatic generation of verses with the creation of the right atmosphere to its reading that includes images and sea sounds. It is programmed in HTML5, javascript and CSS3 using many of the options of this language. It is necessary to turn on the speakers to listen to the sound of the sea. Mar de versos use a technique of patterns –templates-to generate the verses with a wide basis of data from phrases and other words or sub-phrases that can fit with the patterns, therefore poems of different quality are created randomly.

2. Triolets

   Les Triolets est un programme combinatoire alamien publié en 1985 par Paul Braffort qui est basé sur le triolet ; un poème avec une forme fixe depuis le Moyen Age en deux strophes avec le rime a b a a a b a b. La forme fixe se trouve dans la répétition des vers 1 et 2 aux vers 4, 7, et 8 respectivement. L’Alamo utilise la substitution des vers de 6 triolets « compatibles » originaux par Braffort qui sont combinés aléatoirement avec une contrainte stylistique pour créer 7. 776 triolets différents. La fonction de ce programme est exponentiel avec les 6 triolets originaux (6^5) et les tirages possibles selon la contrainte stylistique. Cette caractéristique rend ce programme alamien similaire à Cent Mille Milliard de Poemes par Raymond Queneau, mais avec moins de poèmes à cause de la structure à suivre.

3. ExtraPhysical Worlds

   Publié en 2001 par Bluescreen, le pseudonyme du créateur du programme, ExtraPhysicalWorld est un programme qui se trouve sur le CD alire12, la douzième publication d’une revue inspirée par une coopératif d’auteurs, y compris Phillipe Bootz. Ce collectif qui a inspiré BlueScreen s’appelait L.A.I.R.E, (Lecture Art Innovation Recherche Écriture) et a été créé en octobre 1988. Pourtant, Bluescreen a fait partie d'un autre collectif qui s'appelait Transitoire Observable, créé en 2003. C’est dans les fichiers du CD-ROM que l’on trouve le « site » d’ExtraPhysicalWorld (Les mondes extra-physiques). Normalement, on lançait le site en y accédant sur internet. Cependant, en septembre 2014, le site d’ExtraPhysicalWorld ne marche plus. Donc, il a fallu accéder au programme via les fichiers dans le CD d’alire12. En tout cas, le programme d’ExtraPhysicalWorld se caractérise par quelques menus qui fournissent des renseignements et des animations variés. L’entrée Écrits.txt du menu comprend un article écrit par Bluescreen en 2001 sur la conceptualisation du monde extra-physique.

4. And the Robot Horse You Rode In On

   The post-apocalypse is a uniquely queer setting: a future where the institutions that keep queer banditas from screaming across the desert with their rayguns drawn and robot horses vibrating between their legs are ash and dust. And the Robot Horse You Rode In On is a breakup story set in the Old West of the Far Future.

5. Eight Short Talks About Islands ...and by islands I mean paragraphs

   Flocks of books open and close, winging their way web-ward. A reader is cast adrift in a sea of white space veined blue by lines of longitude, of latitude, of graph, of paper. The horizon extends far beyond the bounds of the browser window, to the north, south, east and west. Navigating this space (with track pad, touch screen, mouse or arrow keys) reveals that this sea is dotted with islands… and by islands I mean paragraphs. These fluid texts are continuously recomposed by JavaScript files calling upon variable strings containing words and phrases collected from a vast literary corpus – Deleuze’s Desert Islands (2004), Shakespeare’s The Tempest (1610–11), Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe (1719), Bishop’s Crusoe in England (1971), Coetzee’s Foe (1966), Ballard’s Concrete Island (1973), Hakluyt’s Voyages and Discoveries (1598–1600), Darwin’s Voyages of the Beagle (1838), and many other lesser-known sources including an out-of-date guidebook to the Scottish Isles, and an amalgam of accounts of the classical and quite possibly fictional island of Thule. Individually, each of these textual islands represents a topic – from the Greek topos, meaning place.

6. Channel of the North

   Channel of the North is a collaborative project by Jan Baeke and Alfred Marseille that combines data visualization, poetry, and telepresence through a series of poems that expand and contract based on the ebb and flow of the tides located in the Westerschelde river at the Dutch-Belgian border. Although a user may access this kinetic poetry anywhere in the world, the geological temporality of the poem is always rooted in a particular space and time in a way that sits in a tradition of artwork such as David Bowen’s tele-present water and tele-present wind. While the dissemination of text is not typically indexed to a physical referent, Channel of the North offers a contemplative moment when poetry becomes a vehicle for exploring the relationship between the flow of geological processes, the flow of networked computation, and the flow of language. Nicole Starosielski’s The Undersea Network charts the long relationship between water and networked communication based on how the subterranean network of private undersea cables are connected to a history of empire, colonialism, and geopolitical conflict and commerce.

7. Tiny Star Fields

   Every three hours, this bot tweets a generated text field composed of blank spaces and unicode characters that can be interpreted as stars or other celestial bodies, particularly when conceptually framed by the account’s title. Its artistic output has become very popular, rapidly attracting over 70,000 followers and with each tweet being favorited and shared over 300 times. While this project would seem to be more of a visual art than literary bot, consider that it is not generating images, but sequences of characters, spaces, and carriage returns. It is using the materials of writing in the tradition of ascii art and its results are so evocative that it has even inspired a spinoff bot @tiny_astro_naut. Follow this bot to become to explore its tiny endless expanses. (Source: Editorial Statement from the works collection site)

8. Speeches

   Przemówienia (Speeches is a program written in Amiga Basic which procedurally generates Communist propaganda. The rote repetitions and word salad satirize political speechmaking by pushing language to its automated extreme. First published in 1993, Przemówienia appeared in a special issue of Magazyn Amiga dedicated to "grafomania" – the compulsive impulse to endlessly write. Marek Pampuch, who was also the magazine’s editor-in-chief, presents a satirical method for winning the Nobel Prize with the help of an Amiga computer. Pampuch writes: "We know that the level of intelligence of our leading politicians only allows them to read out something already written by someone else".

   With Przemówienia, Pampuch succeeds in effectively imitating the empty political rhetoric (or what translates from Polish as “grass talk”) by not only producing text which is pre-written and plentiful, but also devoid of any meaning or message beyond its performative utterance.
