ABOUT THE PROJECT

'Notes Towards the Complete Works of Shakespeare' were produced in response
to the familiar idea that if an infinite number of monkeys are given
typewriters for an infinite amount of time, they will eventually produce th=
e
complete works of Shakespeare. It was translated to a computer environment,
producing live updates published on the web, alongside a webcam view of the
production scene showing the creative activity in its fuller context.
The text was first produced in Paignton Zoo by a group of Sulawesi Macaque
monkeys as their contribution to the exhibition GENERATOR (1 May =AD 22 June
2002, Spacex Gallery), curated by SPACEX & STAR, and supported by the
National Touring Programme of the Arts Council of England and the Institute
of Digital Art & Technology. The project forms part of a research stage of
[VIVARIA.NET] also funded by the Arts Council of England.
Thanks to the monkeys, keepers and staff at Paignton Zoo for their help in
the production of this work.
