3D “Magic Eye” Ascii Stereograms — and even an animated version: Ascii Stereogram Movie
- While the static image has chunks of recognizeable text, the animated version does not. When I was experimenting with text-flipbooks, I wanted each page/frame/cell to be a standalong “text” in its own right (since this was an Xrays Mona Lisa offshoot, the standard “legibility” or coherence of those texticles is up for debate).

A Question of limits
Isn’t using a generator an automated form of constrained writing? You are limited to either the built-in tables/database/sources of the generator, or whatever source-text you feed in (to a Markov alayzer/generator, for example).
I remember playing with some algorithmic music composition software, where I set up some monophonic plain-chant lines as the input, then tweaked the rules. hours and hours of unique chanting resulted.
