Image contains
within it magic; apparatus contains
within it automation and play; program
contains within it chance and necessity; information contains within it the symbolic and the improbable. This results in a broader
definition of the photograph: It is an image created and distributed
automatically by programmed apparatuses in the course of a game necessarily
based on chance, an image of a magic state of things whose symbols inform its
receivers how to act in an improbable fashion.
Vilem Flusser, Towards a Philosophy of Photography
Isn't he interesting?!?
ReplyDeleteYes, Jesse - definitely has me thinking...
DeleteMary - are these images your new work? If so, run w/ that thesis-- They are wonderful, mysterious, and work I wish I was doing, dammit!
