From the very beginning I wanted to use PD to perform some kind of human function, to reveal some form of judgement or thought process which would speak about its own inability to do so. And so I wanted to create some kind of patch that would interest itself in the nature of computer programming, while also displaying some level of critical self awareness. | From the very beginning I wanted to use PD to perform some kind of human function, to reveal some form of judgement or thought process which would speak about its own inability to do so.

I decided to pursue the idea of a dadaist rearrangement of text based on images. I was thinking about the ways in which the Dadaists used the idea of automatic and chance-based occurances in order to remove or at least diffuse their own artistic control and intention over an artwork. This led me to the idea that images could be an interesting starting point, and that I could use PD to perform some kind of human (albeit dadaist) function in 'reading' the images and using them to compose text in some way; the idea being that this 'reading' would vary in accordance with the image being used and thereby create the illusion of personality or discernment on the part of the patch. | I decided to pursue the idea of a dadaist rearrangement of text based on images.
