Grammatron is an experimental multimedia environment developed
by artist Mark Amerika in 1997. The nonlinear narrative concerns
Abe Golam, an "info-shaman," whose alternate persona is Grammatron,
a genderless digital being. Abe's surname alludes to the medieval
Jewish legend of the golem, a robotlike servant made of clay
and brought to life, who is considered a prototype for man-machine
myths from Frankenstein to cyborgs such as the Terminator.
