The author discusses a medium he has termed ‘generative photography’, whereby the photographic process does not simply reproduce objects, but generates new images. He traces the development of generative photography in relation to experimental photography, apparatus art and exact aesthetics, covering the period from the 1920s to the present. Examples of generative works by both established and younger artists in Germany, the United States and Poland demonstrate the traditional technological and aesthetic origins of generative photography and the emerging place of this alternative medium in those countries. The author recounts his career, discussing each stage of his own generative work which is based on both an unconventional aesthetics and the deliberate application of technical method
