Abstract

The new information and communication technologies have brought in their wake not only new ways of carrying out old tasks, such as calculating or sending messages. More than that, they are producing new cultural and symbolic practices, among which we can highlight literary experiments exclusive to digital space, with their own new poetic genres. In this context, this article analyzes the artistic status as well as the controversial issue of authorship in a new literary genre: software-generated poems. To do so, we analyze the software program Peter’s Haiku Generator and some poems generated by it, in order to understand the impasses and the aesthetic gains in this mingling of literature with new technologies.
