 Flusser’s play with abstraction lies in its continually adapting, bobbing and weaving attitude to the world, which at first brackets out the human subject and confronts the instrumental objects, then imagines these in areas of images, explains these in turn in linearly progressing texts, and finally computes their now calculable point elements (//[[:lob_der_oberflaechlichkeit|Lob der Oberflächlichkeit]]//, 1993, pp. 10–11). Through the model-like subtraction of certainties in space-time dimensions of erratically dominant bearers of information, Flusser draws attention to the structural otherness of the numerically generated images that shape our culture today, and their influence on categories that need to be rethought as well as on new forms of joint action – to the potential of consciously negating nothingness. Flusser’s play with abstraction lies in its continually adapting, bobbing and weaving attitude to the world, which at first brackets out the human subject and confronts the instrumental objects, then imagines these in areas of images, explains these in turn in linearly progressing texts, and finally computes their now calculable point elements (//[[:lob_der_oberflaechlichkeit|Lob der Oberflächlichkeit]]//, 1993, pp. 10–11).
