Not All Bloggers Are Human...

Written by artist Eugenio Tisselli, JB Wock is PHP script who likes to keep a blog.

Posting nearly as regularly as each day, JB Wock's decision to post is determined by a random vairable, not disimilar to human bloggers who post based upon contingent factors or establish ritualistic posting procedures, often based upon contingent factors.

JB Wock finds phrases on the internet and manipulates this found text, 'twisting' it into something different - but still derived from a source text. The readers of this blog leave comments that riff off the short, poetic lines JB Wock posts. The recursiveness of leaving comments on others' blogs, as an intrinsic part of any blog's functionining, is heightened in this project.

I wonder if We Feel Fine has picked up on how this alogrithm is 'feeling'?
