Description:
Having some knowledge of the history of imagination, the sociology of imagination and the theory of fantasy, I would like to refute my own thesis on the "Impossible Presence of Pictures" on the basis of Vilém Flusser's essay, "A New Imagination." The suggestion of an image-asceticism connected with this theory will be countered, using Flusser's thesis of new pictures, which are produced, calculated, computed and digitalised from the zero-dimension. Thus, a "new iconoclastic" notion is confronted with a "new iconodulistic" one. If they collide, sparks might spray. (D.K.)
