Vilem Flusser

Read this excerpt from Vilem Flusser’s Into the Universe of Technical Images.
Flusser wrote this text well before the web arrived, and yet he seems to eerily describe many features, both aesthetic and economic, which we can recognize in the web today.
Write a 200 word response to this text which elaborates some single aspect or element of Flusser’s argument about images in relation to a contemporary creative phenomenon in the networked digital world. Post your response to your tumblr and be prepared to discuss your findings in class.
