When I lived in Liverpool I was introduced to a style of poetry known as Broochism (invented by songwriter Tom Brookes?). I can't remember the Broochist manifesto anymore, but it has something to do with being over 75% adjective and having to sound like it was written by an old lady who wears massive brooches.Thanks to JLD and Smeech for capturing my horse. This was commissioned as part of the Bluecoat's Chapter and Verse festival in Liverpool.

This film was recorded for a special poetry event at the FACT Centre in Liverpool. The poetry reading takes place in The Poetry Cafe in Covent Garden.I took famous poems and bounced them, line-by-line, through a series of automated Internet translation programs (mostly Babelfish). Once I'd translated, I deleted any words I didn't like, then put it back into the translator again. After approx 1,000 translations, the poems had become a completely new text, divorced from its original author and lawsuits regarding Intellectual Property. I began collaborating with my computer on writing poetry about 12 years ago. However, I have learnt a series of chilling facts about my co-author that have led me to fear and eventually despise it. A bit like what happened to Simon and Garfunkle. That is, if Art Garfunkle turned out to be a semiotic timebomb buried deep in the heart of our global communication network. Which in many ways he was.I'm giving a lecture on my CGP project at Imperial College London on the 4th December 2008.More computer-generated poems can be read at www.myspace.com/rosssutherland
