Vilém Flusser on History, Science & the Photograph

[twentyfive77]

I do not understand the word after machine, here is the whole sentence: ...you build a machine and that machine ..?.. into this. I hope he means `machine´? Does anybody understand the word? Thanks!

brilliant viewpoint, and aligns with my own photographic work and philosophies.

hey, Dolcezoet and Yodavid, thanks for the feedback.

Flusser's voice on this video is too much low and lose. Now I understands what he said!

By the way, I have read a lot of Jean Baudrillard's subjects, and I see many commons observations in Flusser. Both have great minds of inquiry about the social pathologies.

I recommend all Flusser's appreciators to read Baudrillard "Symbolic Exchange and Death", that is a great "deconstruction of images"!

@Deco70Dias hey man, i agree with you. PLEASE send me a copy of your thesis when you complete it, if it is in english!

[Deco70Dias]

I absolutely agree... I'm writing my Thesis on Flusser's concept of the "historical" Devil and time.... and he's probably the greatest of the last great phenomenologists and existentialists... something the anglo american world is just now starting to graps....

flusser is one of the greatest minds ever walked on earth... it's a pity that he didn't make it to see web 2.0 and everything...
