Description (in English)

Predictor is a web browser based online predictive text artwork. The user or inter-actor is able to enter, via the keyboard, text into a browser window. A statistical algorithm then analyses the probability of all the words that might follow the word just typed, based on the frequency of terms in a reference corpus text. This reference text can be arbitrary. In the case of this instance of the work the corpus is Kafka's Great Wall of China.
