"Darius Kazemi is an internet artist under the moniker Tiny Subversions."
"Darius Kazemi's Two Headlines is a Twitter bot built in Node, a server-side JavaScript engine, to craft mixed-up versions of popular headlines. The bot was inspired by a tweet from Allison Parrish, who suggested that mixed-up headline jokes should be theoretically easy to automate. The logic behind the bot is simple: Kazemi's algorithm grabs a random category and headline from Google News, then replaces the topic word with the topic from another category. The results include headlines such as 'Bandai Namco Announces Donald Trump Controller for Wii U' and 'The First 'Smart TVs' in 43 Years Endured More Than You Can Imagine on the Way.'" -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3
