Flusser Video Collection
The Flusser Video Collection is a Flusser Club project to make previously out-of-stock or unpublished archival video material available online.
The Flusser Club Video Collection is compiled to make it easier for researchers to study and appreciate Flusser's work in all its complexity. Tone of voice, gestures, facial expressions, and extemporising can all be experienced in full force.
Through this platform, Flusser videos will gradually be made available and annotations, transcriptions, translations and multilingual subtitles will be created. Each video will have its own page in the Flusser Wiki, accompanied by relevant biographical and technical information as well as comments.
If you would like to help make Flusser on video better known and appreciated, please join in!
