Title: Site-specific poetry mash-ups

In most websites, the words are the real content (even Google image search relies on captions to work properly). But the goal of this project is to preserve everything except the words. Your task is to create a website mash-up tool that allows even non-technical users to modify or transform the words of a site when viewed from an alternative URL, or with an alternative client. This project is in collaboration with a scheme where six Cambridge museums will each be hosting a high-profile poet in residence. You need to design a tool that will be easily usable by a professional poet, but give them enough technical freedom to augment, interpret, or even subvert the museum's collection via its website.
