THE BELLES-LETTRES AND THE TURINGS MACHINE FLIRTATION

The electronic net, connected with the hypertext (HTML), creates a new communication system, including a new form of artistic expression called 'Liternet', derived from belles-lettres. The peculiarity of 'Liternet' texts is associative narrative instead of linearity and permanent interactivity with the recipient. The most innovative original forms are: associative prose, web-blogs and literary e-discussions. One may also recognize computer games as quasi-literary forms. All of them may transform into variants impossible in writing. Thus, 'Liternet' might be a separate means of artistic expression, parallel to traditional kinds.
