Inspired by Chapter 7 of Introduction to Villem Flusser:

Vilem Flusser’s concept of bidirectional, dialogic media, seems to be yet one more testimony to the swelling desire, rooted rhizomatically across many miles of artistic thought, towards the possibility of enhanced intersubjective political subjects, in the same vain as all of Bourriaud’s precedents laid out in his own work.

The question arises, all these strands laid side by side, whether a new art, or an art that would of course weave strategies new and old, can possibly enhance said relationships in earnest and outside what Flusser would call the wooly blanket of familiar scenes. Can this intersubjectivity, a relational heightenedness ready to take on the challenges of a daunting new set of decades before us, exist and thrive in the un-familiar, alienated spaces of future conflicts? – 6.12.11
