Constraint based and Aleatory compositions

Hello Everyone,

I thought I might post a few links to part of my collection of "Robot Authors". I thought that it might further illustrate the idea of constraint based and aleatory compositions as a way of highlighting our roll in the production of meaning.

Kenneth Goldsmith who practices precisely the kind of writing which we talked about today. He calls it "Uncreative Writing" which is explained nicely in this little article on the ubu.com

Check out especially "The Royal Road to the Unconcious" project

There is also the Oulipo which is perhaps different but I think falls into a similar category of work.

Hope you enjoy.
