Summary/Abstract: The author discusses the work of the Łodz multimedia artist, filmmaker, photographer, member of the Warsztat Formy Filmowej group, who, near the end of his career, wrote two novels (Fotograf and Big Dick) and the drama Dryl. The works discussed include those in which the author experiments with text (the projects New Words from 1972, the Poetry Machine from the early 1980s, and Sonets from the 1990s, among others). The potential of these works as a precursor to Polish New Media Literature is shown in relation to literary forms such as cyberpoetry, the multimedia novel, and generative literature.
