Latour Litanizer

"When writing Alien Phenomenology I found myself wondering, what would happen if we put ontography, Latour Litany, and carpentry together? Here’s one simple take, a 'Latour Litanizer.' It uses Wikipedia’s random page API to generate lists of things […] Like all Latour Litanies, this little gadget underscores the rich diversity of things. It also reminds us that human beings are among them, since a large number of Wikipedia articles describe living and historical persons." —Ian Bogost

"Bogost’s Latour Litanizer might be the first genuine piece of laboratory equipment ever created for philosophy." —Levi R. Bryant

This is a simple version of Ian Bogost's method of generating "Latour Litanies" in emacs as a further (or furthering) exercise in ontography, metaphorism, and carpentry.
