The study maps and describes the production of electronic literature in the Slovak cultural environment. Even though it focuses on the era after communism, theoretical texts on the connections between cybernetics and arts, with discussions on the possibilities for literature and literary theory, dating from the 1950s onwards, are also presented. The study divides Slovak electronic literature according to the way the authors treated the digital text: whether they appropriated the existing one (Legel, Labuda, Barok, Gruska, Bartoš, Ivan, Husárová-Panák, Šicko), combined the appropriated text with their authorial text (Juhász, Kitta) or wrote their own text (Šulej, Murin, Juhász, Husárová – Panák).

This article introduces the phenomenon of literature generated by artificial neural networks, with specific examples of texts created in the Czech and Slovak cultural environment. It follows the historical background connected with generative and combinatory poetics and later describes the principles of data processing used by neural networks work; it also presents the parameters of their machine learning. The focus lies on the reception of these artificial texts in the media and in literary studies, leading to the proposition of two reading types specialized for these works: “reading of artificiality” and “literary meta-reading”, while rehabilitating Mathauser’s term of “meta-hability”. The study concludes by suggesting “literary meta-reading of artificiality” as a term that would combine the aforementioned approaches into a new reception of neural network literature.

One of the aims of this study is to present foreign, Czech, and Slovak projects created by generating literary texts through the use of artificial neural networks (we propose the term synthetic textual media). However, the main goal is to provide a critical analysis of the presentation strategies applied in the publication and promotion of the results of these projects. We will therefore test the hypothesis that these modes of presentation lead to the mythicisation of artificial intelligence and inappropriately skew the share of human and non-human involvement in the production of generative texts. We understand synthetic textual media and their presentational para-texts in complementary textual relations, and stress the necessity of critically analysing them as a whole. This stems from the fact that the current practice of literature generated by artificial neural networks is not suitable for a close reading approach without reductive reception and (mis)interpretation. We are also aware of the specificity of the reception processes initiated by literary texts of this kind and strive to support the concept of literary metareading, which we consider more appropriate for the technological and literary levels of this type of text.
