In \u003cem\u003eImmaterialism\u003c\/em\u003e, Vil m Flusser explores some of the signs that point towards a cultural shift in relation to what we regard as immaterial. A shift which he considers fundamental for the understanding of the wider cultural changes we experience today. First published in Portuguese, as an essay in 1987 in the Boletim da Sociedade Brasileira de Hist ria da Ci ncia, it was subsequently translated by the author into German and English. This edition presents Flusser's own English version of the text set as a visual poem by the artist Chagrin. This book is the first title of the Metatext series by Metaflux, edited by Rodrigo Maltez Novaes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50158490222815,"sku":"9780993327216","price":10.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/VGR2ZmRET1VlYnc1MERmbnN4R25WQT09.webp?v=1781751687"},{"product_id":"artforum-essays-paperback","title":"Artforum \/\/ Essays - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1986, after the international success of \u003cem\u003eTowards a Philosophy of Photography\u003c\/em\u003e, Vil m Flusser started to publish regularly in Artforum Magazine, New York. The book \u003cem\u003eArtforum \/\/ Essays\u003c\/em\u003e gathers together for the first time all twenty-eight essays, both published and unpublished, which Flusser wrote for the magazine until his tragic death in 1991.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fundamental question that Vil m Flusser asks in this series of short provocative essays, and which he explores in most of his literary production, is this: can we really make such a clear distinction between aesthetics, epistemology and ethics as forms of knowledge production? And if through a phenomenological analysis we discover that indeed the boundaries of these fields of human production are not so well defined, then what are the implications for us of such an analysis? Are we already engaging in different modes of cultural production (in its widest sense) but are not yet fully aware of it? His analyses are posited within a contemporary discussion in relation to both the schisms and confluences between art, philosophy and science, but also questioning the very definition we give to these fields of human cultural production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays are accompanied by thirty-two colour images of artworks by internationally renowned artists, curated by Martha Schwendener from the collection of images originally published with the essays in Artforum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdited by Martha Schwendener\u003cbr\u003e Series Editor Rodrigo Maltez Novaes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50158493630687,"sku":"9780993327230","price":39.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/b1doL0lrM2JQQ3N2ZUlNMjkrWCt6dz09.webp?v=1781751689"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/vilem-flusser.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
