And this, how do I read it? An approach to Latin American microfictional texts created by algorithms.

Abstract

This work aims to offer an overview of those current microfictional texts, which border on the poetic genre, generated from algorithms that have an increasing impact within the transmedial literature of Latin America. Many of them propose a tautological vision of themselves, while others seek the meaning behind the generators that create them, which destabilize the figure of the author. The research will focus on the creations of the artists and, for the most part, programmers Milton Läufer, Gabriela Golder, Gustavo Romano, Mario Guzmán, between others, who protagonize the cybernetic anthologies that will be reviewed in this study. These show that the final objective of both the new current Hispanic American microfictional forms and the poetic ones coincide: to reflect on the criteria that prevail in the current context to determine that a text, even sound, visual or in movement, is still literature.
