I don't think I've had as much fun in a very long time :)

First shot came out as:
 Your exhibition's title is:

Apposite Charm: Queers and Remediation

...enjoy the show!

 ??? ??? ??? :-\ :-\ :-\

I guess I'm going to hit that refresh button  ;D

EDIT:
I just discovered that it's just a simple piece of javascript in an HTML File. That means you can save it and use it offline :)

After several attempts that produced unsatisfactory results, I hit upon a winner. I present my latest work:

In Search of Extravaganza: Constructing a Praxis of Dysfunction

I'm totally going to use that if I ever get the chance. The sad thing is that I've seen equally ridiculous titles regularly used, apparently seriously.

I think I got the sequel to your exhibition. Mine is called:

After the Extravaganza: The Dysfunction of Change

This morning, I got one that sounds like the title of a paper from the days I was studying Urban Planning :)
After the Ground: Constructing a Praxis of Urban Experience

I got: Mediating Sustainability: Daring to Defy Dysfunction

There seems to be a lot of dysfunction....  ???

I got

To Find the Properties of Chemistry: 15 Years of Juncture

A very long process.

I combined this with a result from the artybollocks generator (remember that?) and here's what I got:

The Politics of Banality: Daring to Defy Aesthetic Forms and Their Opposites

What starts out as yearning soon becomes manipulated into a dialectic of greed, leaving only a sense of decadence and the unlikelihood of a new synthesis.

I had totally forgotten about it! (it's here http://www.artybollocks.com/ (http://www.artybollocks.com/))

Apposite Rubbish: Media Art and Sameness

What starts out as triumph soon becomes manipulated into a dialectic of greed, leaving only a sense of chaos and the inevitability of a new synthesis.
As shifting replicas become distorted through diligent and diverse practice, the viewer is left with a clue to the darkness of our future.



Now that's really interesting  ;D

You know, Francois, it seems like the artybollocks algorithm is expanding its vocabulary.

Well, they probably keep on improving it :)

I fear that at one point, it's going to produce something good enough to fool curators.
Just imagine that day where anybody who takes pictures of kittens with their cellphone will be able to get into the most prestigious galleries with the help of the Artsybollocks ghostwriter... ::)

Kittens! That's it! I knew my 'practice' was missing an essential hook.
