Level Of Intention
eye had to pay for internet by the hour the word the line
eye ran out of money in 1995
the Computor had a dollar slot and a coin changer on the side
the people eye worked for had all the consoles set up to lock me out
the internet worked for my anyway if eye fed them enough coins online they let
me out of the dungeon chamber long enough to smurf someone gave me coins
for blood eye dripped enough to make the online hound sit up and beg inn
Eiderdown the motel stray the bed is bound and wet just toss it out the bed
cannot be found to dry it takes a never day just burn all of the buildings down In
2003, lecturers and students from the UP Media Lab Arts course used a £2,000
grant from the Artistic Console to study the literary output of real monkeys. They
left a computer keyboard in the enclosure of six monkeys in a ZOO in Briton for a
month, with a radio link to broadcast the results on a website. One researcher,
Mike Phillips, defended the expenditure as being cheaper than reality TV and
still "very stimulating and fascinating viewing". Not only did the monkeys produce
nothing but five pages consisting largely of the letter S, the lead male began by
bashing the keyboard with a stone, and the monkeys continued by urinating and
defecating on it. The zoo's scientific officer remarked that the experiment
had "little scientific value, except to show that the 'infinite monkey' theory is
flawed". Phillips said that the artist-funded project was primarily performance art,
and they had learned "an awful lot" from it. He concluded that monkeys "are not
random generators. They're more complex than that. … They were quite
interested in the screen, and they saw that when they typed a letter, something
happened. There was a level of intention there."
Given enough time, a hypothetical Monkey typing at random would, as part of its
output produce one of Shakespeare's plays (or any other text) when the eye was
a boy they were saying it was the Gettysburg Address. Placing 100 monkeys
inside the computer room and letting them type the sound of the keyboards is
deafening making a poor noise of institutionalistical importance. They did not
type the Gettysburg address they typed and typed and this is what they typed they
made it gibberish there is nothing much a monkey types that a poet can ever
use.
