rel: Into The Universe of Technical Images by Flusser Towards a Philosophy of Photography by Vilém Flusser
Constant dialogue.1
Dialogue = production of information. Discourse = transmission of information.
In telematic society these two are in balance.
Vilém Flusser identifies the possibility of establishing truly dialogic conditions in a reversal of the logic of apparatuses’ material wiring; that is, the transformation of the bundle of monodirectional cables in a network of reversible waves that would offer to any receiver the possibility to actively participate in production of images based on dialogue.
He imagines a “telematic information society” in which all the interested persons would be connected in a constant dialogue with each other.
Flusser’s utopia is ultimately that of a social fabric made up of individuals who program the apparatuses with the consciousness that such an attitude is the only way to avoid being programmed.
