Anagram Genius Open this link in a new window
Anagram Genius is anagram-generating software. Very simply it takes any text that you give it (a name, phrase or anything) and applies artificial intelligence techniques to find perfect rearrangements of those letters revealing hidden "truths" about the subject. The results are sometimes surreal, usually thought-provoking and almost always hilarious!

Batmemes Open this link in a new window
Batmemes is marketed as software for algorithmically tackling writer's block. It uses algorithms inspired by the thought-generating experiments of the Oulipo movement, which took place in France in the 1960's. Batmeme's configuration options allow you to highly customize your auto-generated ideas. For example, you might choose to tint your new thoughts with shades of batDNA from Bram Stoker's Dracula or the complete works of Poe. Or you might choose meme generation based not on the Oulipo method, but on synonyms, for a Babelfish-esque mind-expanding experience. The author calls Batmemes "the creative process on steroids."

ASCII Selected Random Fragments Generator Open this link in a new window
"Anyone ever thought of google as a readymade? Well, the Hub indirectly proposes this approach to web surfing. Log on and scroll up and down this link intensive resource, and click, click, click at random is my best advice. The "I feel lucky" quote may be applied here, with a flair of "good taste" -- choose disinterestedly. The hub has a nice set of preselected material available at the click of your mouse-button. Some of the terms might never come to mind. Readymade searches, what else could Duchamp ask for?"

Batmemes Open this link in a new window
Batmemes springs from experiments of the Oulipo movement in France in the early 60’s. This group of reality challenged(?) artists explored unusual methods for discovering novel ideas. Instead of the mind’s “normal” way of generating thoughts through conditioned association, they twisted language in unnatural directions to uncover unique juxtapositions and unpredictable expressions. Batmemes adopts, and updates, this approach for the 21st century. Employing sophisticated memetic engineering, Batmemes recruits strange attractor mathematics, psycho-linguistic relations, markov dna statistics gleaned from digesting other literature, as well as less conventional algorithms. Cut and paste text from poems, articles, essays —or enter text directly into the transformer window and click the Transmute button.
