Dream_Jrnl

dream_jrnl

Dream_Jrnl is a generative literature experiment that algorithmically creates evocative and mysterious texts.

This program was created using Processing and RiTA as an exercise for Perry Hoberman’s Experiments in Interactivity II (CTIN-544) seminar. The source material is a dream log I kept during the summer of 2008.
