| description | The article focuses on poetological and axiological analysis of the Slovak collection of
poems Liza Gennart: Výsledky vzniku (Outcomes of origin, 2020). The collection is part
of the project created by the poet and theorist of electronic literature, Zuzana Husárová
and the sound artist and programmer Ľubomír Panák who trained a neural network
to generate its poems. Texts generated by neural networks are usually referred to as
synthetic. In the article, we propose to speak of poetry generated by neural networks
as synthetic poetry. Introductory parts of the article address the global contexts in
which such a work of literature is nested (changes in the economy, position of literature
in the current world, problems faced by the humanities today) and technological
issues pertaining to natural language processing. Literary-historical contextualisation
addresses the history of generative writing in Slovak literature, authorial teams, and
virtual authorial signatures. The concluding section of the article is devoted to textual
analysis and proposes to conceptualise this instance of synthetic poetry in terms of
three features of its poetics: defect, incoherence, and reduction. |
