De anderen hebben het gedaan (The others did it)

A series of web pages with on every page a text/poem whose content and presentation changes under the influence of online available dynamic data about events that take place elsewhere in the world. The link between a text and a website is determined by the thematic affinity between website and text. That relationship is not unambiguous, not one-dimensional, the text does not directly link to the site’s subject. The reader of the text itself has no influence on the content and presentation of that text. The influence is exercised by fluctuations in the data the website deals with, or by the online behaviour of the visitors to that website.

So far one data poem has been created, namely: #1 : Stemmingswisselkoers (Mood Exchange Rate). A text that follows fluctuations in the AEX-index. As the market goes up, the text becomes more optimistic; with negative developments the text follows that downfall. Under influence of the tendencies in the market certain keywords and sentences will be replaced by others.
