Author's note
"my recombinant activity isn't merely 'cut-up'. which is in a negative fashion. algorithmic writing is just a more 'tech' description of any kind of writing (or thinking?). composition of a text begins, perhaps, by looking over some notes, then turn to some original sources.
as i read, my brain generates a few fragmentary, on-the-spot responses which store as marks on a page or screen. this cycle repeats, pausing to loop back to the original plans and sketches, amending them in the same fragmentary, on-the-spot fashion.
the output acts as a mediating factor in a variety of complex and iterated processes which continually loop between brain, body and technological environment. whether you use 'tools' like computer sorts, or dice, or the i-ching is irrelevant to the basic act.
so this is just a supplemental brain function (post-human). i often think what artificial (or super) intelligence means to human art. this is a way to add (maybe). jackson mac low means to empty the output of ego but i don't know if that ever happens. it defiantly feels 'outside' (like spicer's martians?). all this + i like to think of art as a (pseudo(nym)-science.
