Here is a reading list. Feel free to add to it. I will try to link to actual texts (pdf or html) if possible. If not, I will link to books at amazon.
Also, feel free to link to things at wikipedia. This is a pragmatic investigation, not a rigorously footnoted academic exercise.
None of this is by any means “required” reading, but just a resource, and perhaps a way for us to begin getting on the same page.

Zaum information: (the wikipedia article is pretty good, but far from comprehensive)

In this text Queneau rewrites the same narrative through different voices – its like a series of versions. Included are algorithmic process as well as traditional forms like haiku.

it addresses materiality and process in ways that seems relevant to our thread.

http://permutations.pleintekst.nl/
It went offline for a while, but now it is back. It’s basically a site that aggregates a bunch of historical methods (gysin, tzara, etc) of permutational writing, and then automates these methods.
