“Cash Register Generating Poetry” 1999

Ordinary cash machine was used with the poetry generating programme I wrote. Programme is based on random selection of words. This function creates illusion of conscious and full of sense way of writing. This mode of creating texts can also resemble to dada or surrealists experiments. (automatic writing)

Hardware of the cash machine is left unchangable. Text is printed on the check and is shown on the indicator also.

Language of the texts depends on the place of exposition.
Now it works in Lithuanian, English and Finish.
Spectators can change the forms of the poetry by pushing buttons.
