In Flusser, we've found our Wittgenstein. By that I mean, in the ways that 1960s conceptual artists found his  Philosophical Investigations  as granting them the necessary permission to see the world around them with fresh eyes, Flusser's forays into media have framed, theorized, and unpacked the new complexities of our digital world. By empirically questioning received knowledge and recasting it within crisp lines of history and logic, he's made the digital legible in a time when its theorization is occluded and murky to say the least. Like de Kooning's famous statement: 'History does not influence me. I influence it,' it's taken Flusser's analog-based investigations in the twentieth century to show how to be in the digitally soaked twenty-first., In Flusser, we've found our Wittgenstein.

    astonishing and extremely inspiring

    Towards a Philosophy of Photography by Vilem Flusser is an astonishing and extremely inspiring book. It uses the simplest language to depict the most profound issues in photography. But it is not only about photography, it has to do with everyone of us. In the end, we have to know what we are living for is to find freedom. I feel I can die after I read this book. The reason I could not is that as a photographer and a human being, it is my duty to find the space for human struggle in the apparatus.
