2.2. The text, its roots, its materialization.

Assoziations-Blaster. "The Assoziations-Blaster is an interactive text network. Anyone, including you, is allowed to contribute to the text database. And all the texts inside this database are connected automatically in real time. You can not browse through all the texts in a linear way. Instead you jump from one text to another depending on their connections, revealing new meanings and associations. The information in the database is organized through keywords. Every text belongs to a keyword, and the keywords create the connections between the texts. You are also allowed to create new keywords after certain intervals. So with your contribution you can help to build up a non-linear map of all things that exist."

Ali Reza Expériences de typographie générative. Citons le : Over the past year I worked on several client projects and got a fulltime job (which I am no longer at), which kept me pretty busy. When I did get some time, I ended up experimenting with typography, color, simulations (particles, springs, and fluid), audio-input and simple rule based systems. These images are the results of half a year or so of coding, tinkering, tweaking, manipulating, and massaging algorithms for generative typography. Read more about these images and how these were created.After briefly experimenting with typography and dynamic systems in Nov. 2010, I started to experiment with color after being inspired by Paul Smith’s vibrant color palette. I believe in minimalism, and for a long time I used only monochromatic color palettes. I still believe in minimalism, but utilize color to make things pop and to give them a playful personality. The image below is of a simple particle-spring simulation melting downward because of the effects of gravity, but staying together because of the springs. When color is applied it starts to resemble a matt oil painting.

2.2.1. Disappointing results
- A lot of things in La littérature numérique , a large online work by Philippe Bootz in 2006 (Leonardo website).
- Flaubert simulations, technically convincing, by do not lead to really creative text.
- Jacques Roubaud, who would like to do mathematics, turned himself to poetry.
- Cadavre exquis, see . Wikipedia.
- Oulipo.

2.2.2. Combinatorial games
- Dada creates the Cadavre Exquis combinatorial system of texts or images.
- Queneau is a writer in the classical acception, but also a player of language. He took an important part in the Oulipo movement.
- Garbagnati

Jean-Pierre Balpe. See Diccan note . Balpe tends to prove that automatic generation of text is finally useless.
