That writing machine has always been a favorite little passage of mine; I can just see it, sorta clunky and creaking, jerking along....
A WRITING machine that shifts one half text and half the other through a page frame on conveyor belts - the proportion of half one text half the other is important corresponding as it does to the 2 halves of the human organism] shakespeare, rimbaud etc, permutating through page frames in constantly changing juxtaposition the machine spits out books and plays and poems - the spectators are invited to feed into the machine any pages of their own text in fifty-fifty juxtaposition with any author of their choice, any pages, and provided with the cut-up results in a few minutes. pg73 ticket that exploded.
The magic of cut-up:
"Tennyson" appears in the cut-up by Ficus on 9.16 then in mine (right above Ficus) on 10.23. Complete coincidence.
Ficus, these are great texts you made, hiwver you did it (which I coukdn't follow well, being a computer idiot)
i always used scissors and glue, tried and true
or else just write in a way that appears to be cutup, which is probably is, the cutting up happening in my deprogrammed brain
I should've been more forthcoming about what I want from a digital cutup method.
1) allow me to put text lines onto a pre-existing ['stolen'] image.
2) allow repositioning after first importing lines of text.
3) would be nice if it allowed one to open large texts as sources of lines.
4) similarly, open multiple texts as line sources.
