Description (in English)
A HyperCard stack consisting of an interactive literary piece. "Leaving the City" takes two works - a lecture on poetry, and a poem - and blends them via collocational algorithms. The algorithm takes a word chosen and, based on the x-coordinates of the cursor, will randomly choose which text to move into. By creating a branching work - the two texts flow in and out of each other based on the underlying scripts - these "collocational jumps" generate a unique text.
