ITECH1400 Foundations of Programming
Assignment 1
Bowie, Burroughs, Gysin & Permutated
Prose: The Cut-Up Method
Overview
In this assignment you are required to implement your own Python application which
emulates the “Cut-Up” method and follows the six steps of problem solving. You will
apply a suitable metric to the finished text.

Background
The early 1900s in Europe saw the birth of the art movement known as Dada1; Dadaists, such
as Tristan Tzara2, held views that rejected logic and reason and embraced chaos.
In this assignment we look at this avant-garde movement in the 20th century with artists such
as David Bowie, William S Burroughs and Brion Gysin.
Gysin, an artist, gives his re-discovery of this technique as follows3:
While Gysin and Burroughs were working with Bowie on the lyrics for the album Diamond
Dogs4 they started using this technique. Some later albums incorporated more use of the CutUp method.5 Gysin’s explanation of the Cut-Up method is given below6:

Although the idea behind Cut-Ups is quite simple, there are many variations. In the 1990s, a
friend of Bowie – Ty Roberts – a very capable programmer, suggested making a program to do
the Cut-Ups; the program was called the Verbasizer7 and is explained very well by Bowie in
the clip.
Burroughs explains how he does Cut-Ups: http://www.languageisavirus.com/creative-writingtechniques/william-s-burroughs-cut-ups.php#.XnQJ_YgzaUk
There are many other resources available online; this page, for example, has a Cut-Up
machine: http://www.languageisavirus.com/cutupmachine.php#.XnL63YgzaUk

Your Task
Start with a text – you are free to choose any text – a good suggestion is Alice in Wonderland8 a paragraph
from chapter 1 is given below.
Using the skills in Python that you have developed, you are to write an application that will
read in some text and then perform a Cut-Up operation on it.
One metric that we can use is to check the readability of the text. To do this just select the
Spelling & Grammar feature – this will display the readability of the text – and of the Cut-Up:

8 http://www.gutenberg.org/files/11/11-pdf.pdf Alice in Wonderland
Flesch Reading Ease of 72.9/100 means
that the text is fairly easy to read – the
higher the score, the easier it is to read.
Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level of 8.5 is the
grade level that would understand the
text; in this case, a student, just above 8th
grade would understand this passage.

Assessment Details
The six-steps of problem solving must be evident in your assignment. Namely:
1. Identify the problem – state the task in your own words e.g. implement Cut-Up method
2. Analyse the problem – describe what needs to be done
3. Generate potential solutions – look at different ways to do this using Python
4. Select and plan a solution – explain why you have chosen this approach
5. Implement the solution – develop pseudo-code and then implement it in Python
6. Evaluate the solution – what degree of success was achieved?
Journal
A good idea is to keep a journal, typed or hand-written (and later scanned), which you include
as an appendix to your assignment.
This journal contains the development of your ideas, attempts (successful and not) and results
along the way in your explorations.
The value of the journal is that it asserts authorship of your work and demonstrates the time
and effort that you have applied in the assignment.
Submission
You must supply your program source code files and your documentation as a single zip
file named as follows:
_.zip
e.g. Aravind_ADIGA_30331237
You may supply your word processed documentation in either Microsoft Word or
LibreOffice/OpenOffice formats only – no proprietary Mac specific formats, please.
Assignments will be marked on the basis of fulfilment of the requirements and the
quality of the work. In addition to the marking criteria, marks may be deducted for failure
to comply with the assignment requirements, including (but not limited to):
• Incomplete implementation(s), and
• Incomplete submissions (e.g. missing files), and
• Poor spelling and grammar.
Submit your assignment (all program source files and data files plus your word processed document) to the
Assignment 1 Upload location on Moodle before the deadline given in the course description.
Although you are asked to attach code and data files (so that your code can be easily run and the data
checked), your report should stand alone – this means that code and data should be attached in an
appendix so that a reader does not need any other documents or files to understand your work.

Analyze the problem – describe what needs to be done 10
Generate potential solutions – look at different ways (at least 3) to do this using Python 9
Select and plan a solution – explain your chosen approach – develop pseudo-code 10

No need for external libraries demonstrated. If you have used libraries – you must
explain their working clearly – show your understanding of their working and why you
needed them

FINAL MARK /20
Feedback
Feedback will be provided in lectures and labs as well as on Moodle
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the presentation of the expressed thought or work of another person as
though it is one’s own without properly acknowledging that person. You must not allow
other students to copy your work and must take care to safeguard against this
happening. More information about the plagiarism policy and procedure for the
university can be found at:
http://federation.edu.au/students/learning-and-study/online-help-with/plagiarism
This is an INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT – and while you may discuss it with your fellow
students, you must not share designs or code or you will be in breach of the university
plagiarism rules.
You might be asked to demonstrate and explain your work.
