Pretext is a software that analyses a database of existing texts and rewrites them using similar linguistic patterns. In the site-specific installation of the project, a printer prints out every 50 minutes the texts re-created by the software, which eventually will be bundled into one unique book after the show. The books are also shown together with graphical robot drawing interpretation of one or more generated pages from previous exhibitions. This robot drawing is a render of the coordinates that Pretext did to find links inside the database.
