Oulipoems

Oulipoems are interactive poems where interactor can create poems. In „Sundays in the park“he can change meaning of the words by clicking on them. The words collide in new ones or group of words tears itself on smaller parts, but group still sounds the same. During all that time, two unsynchronized voices are reading the default words. I had fun reading „Morningside Vector Space“because it showed the same text through eyes of different types of people. Except that one and „The muse“all other poems are connected with war theme, but they don't have the same features. „ No War“ has no text, except those two words. It is a sound poem. „Headline news“is a two dimensional Rubik's cube where interactor is trying to make sentence in rows and in columns. In „Poggle“interactor is trying to compose a poem from phrases that are offered to him in limited time. „The electronic muse“also offers interactor to create his own poem, but here is offered whole sentences in many different styles, such as Shakespeare’s. I liked „Oulipoems“because everything is based on Oulipo which combines poetry and mathematics. Words are random, but they follow a certain pattern.
