ECO-BABBLE

Digital poetry generator that engages the ‘reader’ in the media debates regarding the environment.

As the Dadaists embraced irrationality and absurdity in the post-WW1 era, we ‘protest against the world of mutual destruction’ in the pre-sustainable era. By throwing rubbish into the earth the ‘reader’ activates the global media machine, which spouts segments of randomly generated content. The resulting poetry reflects the intrinsic contradictions in our globally repercussive unsustainable behaviour.
