“…Mais l'adhésion des artistes à ce nouveau sujet fait débat, à plusieurs titres : l'intrusion de la machine dans la littérature dérange les codes esthétiques ; sa représentation s'avère difficile, faute du lexique, des images, du registre, des rythmes adéquats ; son utilisation transforme la relation de l'auteur, du lecteur et de l'œuvre. « À écrire », la machine l'est donc comme nouveau médium qui bouleverse les pratiques d'écriture (et de lecture), mais aussi, et avant tout, parce qu'elle est un objet a priori étranger, qui jette un défi aux arts. …”
