The
computer version for Cent bilions de poemes ("A hundred
billion poems") has been implemented by using MIDIPoet, software
created by Eugenio Tisselli. MIDIPoet is a tool made to compose and
interpret pieces involving interactive text and image. This version
is divided into two separate programs: on the one hand there is the
composer, which allows you to create pieces by drawing diagrams. On
the other hand the interpreter, which interprets the pieces composed.
In MIDIPoet pieces, text and image on the screen respond to external
events: a key or a MIDI message. Through a simple process of composition
in which text and image "events" and their "triggers"
are defined, complex interactive pieces likely to be live interpreted
can be created. MIDIPoet was especially created for text manipulation
- a visual interactive poetry machine. The shape in which a text is
shown on the screen (size, colour, letters, etc) and also the contents
(choosing words from a list at random, mixing up letters, words and
more) can be modified. Likewise, working with images is also possible:
MIDIPoet works with frames - formats bmp, jpg and gif). It
can be downloaded free on: www.transit-lounge.com/vainasystems
