    “Anyone (everyone?) who takes photographs or thinks about AI may benefit from reading this short, dense text. Flusser talks about the ways the apparatus replicates itself and makes a plea for experimental photography as a way to subvert the program of the apparatus. Here’s a free copy. Also! (I’m trying not to be wordy bc this isn’t Substack)…but Flusser was multilingual and careful in how he applied languages to ideas.”
