Perpetual Storytelling Apparatus "original drawing"

Get a fragment of the endless illustrations! A unique design created by machine "Perpetual Storytelling Apparatus" can be purchased in a 1 to 3 m.

„Perpetual Storytelling Apparatus“ is a machine that draws an endless story by translating words of the bestseller book excerpts into illustrations. Database of seven million patents is associated with more than 22 million references from the vocabulary. Each patent is in the database linked to other related patent. They form a kind of subtext. New visual connections and narrative layers emerge through the interweaving of the story with the depiction of technical developments.

A short description on how the algorithm works:
1] The program downloads and parses a part of the text of a recent best-selling book.
2] The algorithm eliminates all insignificant words like "I", "and", "to", "for", "the", etc. The remaining words and their combinations are the keywords for the patent drawings.
3] Using the keywords in chronological order, it searches for the key-patents.
4] The program now searches for a path connecting the found key patents. This is possible because every patent contains several references to older patents - the so-called "prior art".
5] All key-patents and the patents connecting them semantically are arranged and printed.
6] Goto step 1.
