Without Firm Ground – Vilém Flusser and the Arts

15 Aug - 18 Oct 2015

»Into the universe of technical images«, »praise for superficiality« or »For a philosophy of photography« - With such programmatic titles, Vilém Flusser (1920–1991) has advanced to become one of the most influential thinkers of communication and media in the last decades of the 20th century. In the positive sense of the word, he took on the challenge of rethinking the arts in view of the fact that our existence had become significantly technical.

In the manner of a circuit, the »Without Firm Ground – Vilém Flusser and the Arts« exhibition invites you to imagine the movement of the volatile existence of Vilém Flusser as a model for that force of interconnectivity that we refer to of the 20th century.
