The creation process of a synthetic textual medium

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents the contemporary phenomenon of synthetic textual media that write poetry. It describes the several stages of preparation, conceptualization and building of a neural network that generates poetry. The neural network introduced in this article, called Liza Gennart, is the author of the book Výsledky vzniku (‘Outcomes of Origin’, 2020) and of several other projects, among them an interactive multimedia installation. The author of this article uses a practice-led research method to write about her own collaborative project that was conducted in collaboration with the programmer Ľubomír Panák.
