| This project is based on a surrealist game that involves taking a newspaper, cutting out the words of the headlines, donning a blindfold and making poetry by blindly (re)arranging the words. |
A growing number of online news sources and weblogs provide RSS feeds, so I have created an engine that takes a special selection of RSS feeds and randomly re-arranges them to provide interesting and sometimes provocative poems. |
From February 2005 to April 2006 Surrealist Poetry sent poems live on the hour every hour to Speakers Corner, a dot matrix display housed located on the outside of the Media
Centre, Huddersfield.
