Oulipian poetic
theory ranged from the polemical language of early manifestoes to
elaborate formulations of a literary
aesthetic based on algorithms and re-combinations.
However else the original Surrealist Revolution failed for being so successfully subsumed into and sublimated by the mainstream media, it directly and positively was the foundation on which all subsequent
aesthetic theories and formal strategies of mid - to late - twentieth century art were
elaborated.
