Spaces of generativity. An introduction to the art of Wojciech Bruszewski

Summary/Abstract: The art of Wojciech Bruszewski is among the most precious achievements in the area of avant-garde media and new media art in Poland. Since the 1960s the artist was active in the domain of photography, experimental film, video art, installation art and sound art. As a member of the Workshop of Film Form, the avant-garde group founded in 1970, Bruszewski co-created the analytical-conceptual current in Polish art. In this paper I analyze the work of Bruszewski, pointing to the generative tendency accompanied by permutational and stochastic elements as the main characteristic of his work. Its co-existence with another current – also significant for Bruszewski’s work: interactive art – outlines the basic vector of his art, ranging from human performativity to the performativity of machines.
