Tape Mark 3

This sample work originated from the reproduction of Nanni Balestrini's generative poem "Tape Mark I", which he created in 1961 using an algorithm designed by IBM engineer Alberto Nobis. In the process of recreating the logic of the original algorithm with a suitable JavaScript animation, however, the practice extended into other areas of my research. The work consists of 6 poems and some reflections on the theories I applied to the work.
