 "Vilém Flusser's essay "Die Schrift" is not only about writing, it calls writing itself into question through writing. Originally we had discussed a traditional printed book for publication, the idea for an electronic edition in my exchanges with [[tag:person:Volker_Rapsch|Volker Rapsch]], with whom I founded [[immatrix_publications|Immatrix Publications]] in 1986.  Flusser liked this new idea and contributed a new "postscript" for the electronic edition.  In the postscript (literally "after writing") Flusser proposes the reader can either encounter the electronic publication as a "no-longer-book" (//nichtmehrbuch//) or as a "also-still-book" (//nochimmerbuch//) - to indicate that the reader could engage with the publication in dialogue instead of simply reading it off the screen. \\ "Vilém Flusser's essay "Die Schrift" is not only about writing, it calls writing itself into question through writing.

 Therein lay the whole explosiveness of this project: it allowed the reader not only apprehend text as the result of a writing process, but it permitted text to become a process itself. This essay pointed towards a new culture of writing, and fortunately there was a technology - primitive from today's point of view - with which the experiment could be attempted concretely." (from "Ein Gespräch zwischen Andreas Müller-Pohle (European Photography, Immatrix Publications) und Daniel Irrgang (Vilém Flusser Archiv) im August 2015, translated by Baruch Gottlieb) Therein lay the whole explosiveness of this project: it allowed the reader not only apprehend text as the result of a writing process, but it permitted text to become a process itself.
