The commonsense acceptance of place at face value belies the complex and often contradictory dynamics which are operating beneath the surface. cyrus.py is an experimental intertextual poetics and research tool that explores counterpublic identity, hacking, terrorism, and the relationship between walking, language, and place.
cyrus.py combines extracts from an eclectic array of sources exploring the above-mentioned topics with cherry-picked output from another cut-up generator I created. This earlier program (also written in Python) outputs cut-ups of five books/writings: Fight Club, Invisible Man, Professionals of Hope: The Selected Writings of Subcomandante Marcos, Hackers (by Aase Berg), and The Warriors original movie script.
