First Reading: Vilém Flusser – Towards a philosophy of photography

In the chapter The Photograph Flusser works out two intentions of the photographs: First, photographers are ‘encoding their images to give others information, as to produce models for them and thereby to become immortal in the memory of others’ (Flusser, 2000,, p. 48) Second, ‘The camera encodes the concepts programmed into it as images in order to program society to act as a feedback mechanism (…)’ (Flusser, 2000,, p. 48)
