Niekoľko poznámok k recepcii poézie umelých neurónových sietí
Several Points on Reception of Poetry of Artificial Neural Networks

Summary/Abstract: The paper reflects on the outcome of the project aimed at generating poems introducedby Zuzana Husárová and Ľubomír Panák under the pen name Liza Gennart and titledVýsledky vzniku/The Results of Creation (2020). It was created on the basis of a fairlywide database of texts provided by several Slovak publishing houses specializing inpoetry (2 108 works, or 47 MB of pure text). The goal of the authors, holding the positionsof the curators, was to become capable of producing their own feminist poetry.The outcome presented as poetry of a neural network can be interrelated to suchphenomena as digital literature, new media or so-called assisted creativity (when textsare created by other than human beings). It develops the principles of conceptual art.The authors appropriate, manipulate with computer-generated material, compose itinto the form of a poem as similar to a human poem as possible. This approach, whichemphasizes a recipient´s activity, challenges the ideas about poetry, literature and artcommunication. In addition, it raises questions about the fundamental principles,functions and possibilities of poetry surviving in new forms, in continuously changingcommunication environments.
