A Book: Dressed as if nothing is wrong. (40 pages) For a while now, I have been collecting sentences for a picture I took one morning in September 2008. It combines how I think and how I work. Without talking it uses words that I’m not able to speak, in this way, [...]

 

VILEM FLUSSER

VILEM FLUSSER

A Text on Design [PDF] Further studies on Flusser can be found here. Flusser’s essays are short, provocative and lucid, with a resemblance to the style of journalistic articles.

A straight line

A straight line

The Lecture

The Lecture

Two men sat in a bar. They looked similar, about the same age, weight and height. They went by the same name. Michael. They were the same man.

There are many versions of the story of Gilgamesh. This is a preface not for one but for all this versions. Herbert Mason opening summation is elegant. “It is an old story But one that can still be told About a man who loved And lost a friend to death And learned he lacked the power To bring him back to life.” The [...]
