Introductory Text
Conkludging Remarks by Way of Introduction:
As discussed in the introduction to the section of the dissertation titled Embodied Critique, Conkludging Remarks by way of Introduction was originally presented as a recap and concluding remarks for the Codework Workshop. The word conkludging is a pun on concluding, replacing –cluding with kludging. A kludge is an improvised, somewhat clownish solution to a technical problem; a piecing together of disparate parts to complete a task. This is exactly what the text is doing, though here, as part of the kludge, the text never moves beyond its own introduction. The web supplement provides a scripted working example of possible combinations for the work, and a txt file of the code.

That Being Said:
That Being Said is a live-action combinatoric schema for performance. Using a deck of cards with 40 texts adhered to them the pieces strives for coherence through a sequenced reading of the shuffled deck. The web supplement provides a scripted working example as well as a PDF kit for making the set of cards. This work is addressed in the section of the dissertation titled Embodied Critique.

[JJ.BS]GENERATIVE RE:EDIT/ATOR
This work was developed during the dissertation process as a working example of how combinatoric can be utilized for textual analysis. In the dissertation, the concerns in this work are addressed in the essay The Litte Engine that Could: Poetry Generators and the Case of Nick Montfort’s Taroko Gorge (119). The work uses James Joyce's text Araby and Samuel Beckett's play Not I as source material for recombinant sequencing. Each of texts (in their entirety) are resequenced algorithmically, and finally can be combined to create a text that is both Joyce and Beckett.
Toy Garbage:
Toy Garbage is a variation on Nick Montfort's Taroko Gorge. As discussed in Litte Engine that Could: Poetry Generators and the Case of Nick Montfort’s Taroko Gorge (119), the original piece by Montfort has been utilized by a number of authors for generating secondary poetic texts. Toy Garbage is one such piece.
