cut up is a contemporary adaptation of the cut-up technique, as made popular by the dadaists, and as closely associated with William S. Burroughs.

cut up pulls in recent news articles about William S. Burroughs, cuts those articles up, and reassembles them to form short open poems, akin to the physical technique.

You can add the app to your home screen on an iOS device and run it from there for a full-screen experience. The page refreshes every 30 seconds to give you brand new poetry, or you can refresh the page sooner by tapping the title in the toolbar.

cut up was created by Nick Heer. It is built with PHP on Bootstrap with a modified Readable theme.
