Abstract

In 1982, Walter Ong said writing was a technology that, in contrast to the “naturality” of oral, had the capacity
to reorganize our thought. Throughout its history, literature has dealed with all classes of machinical conceptions:
of the human being, language, writing and even literature it self. This text will deal with some of the ways in
which writers have used machines to shape their works, from average media as the press or the typewriter to
particular devices like Hausmann´s Optofon or Marcel Duchamp´s the Rotatives. Net-poetry, on the other hand,
appears today as the heiress of a series of literary experiences with gramófonos, telegraphs, radios, telephones,
videocameras, etcetera
