Against the backdrop of the rapid development of the technical image from the photographic to the post-photographic image, which includes digital photographs and AI-generated images, the conference on the research project of the same name Post-photographic Images. Generative Imaging Processes, the conference on the eponymous research project Post-photographic Images. Generative Imaging Processes deals with a specific aspect of recent image production: the aspect of the generative, which has now become an 'umbrella term' and will be analysed empirically and experimentally on the basis of various imaging processes as well as conceptually and historically. The last and current turn of the generative occurred with open AI, for which the term 'generative artificial intelligence' has become established. Beyond the use of algorithms, generative here refers to a specific moment of generation that goes beyond 'simple' image generation from an existing data set in that the data sets are read out on the basis of machine learning in such a way that completely new data or images are automatically generated. Neither the various generative imaging processes and image practices nor the connotations that have been attached to the concept of the generative as a result have yet been differentiated and presented in detail. However, this appears to be a prerequisite for individual room for manoeuvre in both technological and social transformation processes. For only a deeper understanding of the algorithmic processes of data collection, statistical probability, pattern recognition and image generation, which are part of the current media conditions of our perception and are involved in the creation of our reality, enables both their appropriation and criticism.
