Summary/Abstract: The article deals with “NieTakT”, Jerzy Zachara’s auteur periodical published in 1991–1992, and focuses on the author’s creative practices, simultaneously situating them within the context of changes related to the transition from analogue to digital technology and the dynamics of the remediation process. The author indicates the important role of the photo-copier as a tool rendering possible the autonomy of publishing projects and the close connection of Zachara’s activity with analogue technology and the materiality of the text. Finally, Aleksander Wojtowicz presents the manner in which the artist continued to pursue his activity on the Internet and considers the consequences of changing the medium for Zachara’s artistic expression.
