One part of the reading that caught my eye was the quote "What the Photograph reproduces to infinity has occurred only once." I decided to use this as an excuse to do something different and create a file that doesn't exist again after it is used. This gave me the opportunity to experiment with a different programming language and approach that I had not tried before.
The PDF file is generated using a server-side application that generates a new file on each request to the server using LaTeX. The generated file is then rendered in the browser, so that it displays a different image each time it is loaded. The source code for this project can be found here.
