word processor

"This poem from the Wordtoys allows any user to rewrite Don Quixote through its interface. As the famous Borges's Pierrre Menard would do, here, regardless of what a user enters into the word processor that is offered to us as the poem's interface, the program returns Cervantes's text. The keystrokes that one carries out on the keyboard stop corresponding to the output shown on the screen, this being totally out of the control of the now writer-creator."

-Alex Saum-Pascual

Çacocophonie is built with Processing and was published at DOC(K)S homepage in July 2013. On September 23, 2013, during the first debate of the ELO 2013 conference "Chercher le Texte," Castellin presented at Le Centre Pompidou auditorium in Paris three different versions of the poem: a plain and static text version, written on a word processor, and two animated versions, both built with Processing, but having slow and quick juxtapositions of animated text.
