Reviews

ENDORSEMENTS “Smartly illustrated and beautifully written, Martha Schwendener’s timely book provides a deep dive into the work of a thinker about images and visual information who has never seemed more relevant than right now.” —Geoffrey Batchen, author of Negative/Positive: A History of Photography “A highly innovative book that overcomes the still widely held reductive view of Vilém Flusser as a media theorist by bringing his lifelong interest in art to the forefront.” —Rainer Guldin, Editor-in-Chief, Flusser Studies
