"Flusser: Suprises"
lecture for the symposium - abstract

One of the striking novelties in Flusser’s mode of thinking is that no matter what art form is considered, we find it full of suprises, time after time.
Suprise becomes essentially a central "category" with him -- the lecture will examine this phenomena.
