Description

In 1967 Gottfried Jäger pioneered generative photography: images made entirely within the apparatus of the camera. They weren’t representational images, but abstract compositions of the system itself. Working collaboratively with Jäger, James Bloom has directly transposed these light images into data images, using digital apparatus. He derives multiple interconnected digital objects from Jäger’s original image, also making them contingent on the network. The act of viewing changes and complicates the artwork for everyone in real time. Also, depending on where an artwork is viewed from in the world, it will appear differently. Jäger’s concepts from the 1960s are extended for our online era. The series uses a decentralised peer-to-peer network to connect viewers to each other through art. CONTINGENT is an expansion on the series of artworks exhibited by Bloom and Jäger at the Museum of the Moving Image, New York, December 2025 to February 2026.
