===== description =====

Flusser discusses the writings in his book “Towards a Philosophy of Photography”. How first linear writing replaced destiny with causality, historical consciousness took the place of magical consciousness. Then the mathematical code came about, the code of science, introducing a consciousness of the now formal, analytical, systematic, structural way of thinking. This way of thinking is ruled by the apparatus. Drawing on his [[:television_image_political_space_light_romanian_revolution|lecture in Budapest]] the year before, Flusser emphasises the way in which revolution has ceased to be a political event, rather being one that takes in the politics of the technical image and the inversion of the intention of the apparatus.
