Another old applet returns. This is the java version of artist
Mikael Lundberg's
'Språkgeneratorn'
(the language generator), which I did some of the programming for back in 2000.
This java port was originally
written for Svenska Dagbladet. The applet measures correlations
between sequences of characters in texts collected from various swedish webpages, and then a
Markov process is used to generate new text according to the measured correlations.
'Språkgeneratorn' only uses very short correlations and and will therfore
only occasionly produce proper words.
'Språkgeneratorn' has been exibited a number of times since it was made. The last
exhibit I am aware of was at
Norrköpings konstmuseum
from 2008-09-20 to 2008-11-16.
