AB - "<em>War Bop HUMBABA</em> uses a JS algorithm, named <em>HUMBABA</em>, and the open source p5.js and rita.js. <em>HUMBABA</em> reads in a given poem-text (here, the seven stanzas of ‘War Bop’) and re-writes it beside that source, producing an echo or doubling, and applying typographic interventions determined by relations between successive words. As it re-writes, it mishears and mistakes, but it is listening (it is programmed to search for replacement words by sound), and is asked to match the counted syllables, as I hear them, in the source word.<br><br>"As it does this it also listens for words that match (in both the source and its double—the <em>HUMBABA</em> poem) to a given set of commentaries or glosses. If it finds such a match, it displays that word below, and from that word can be found (by touch) the commentary." -- From the artist's statement, <em>New River Journal</em>
