Vilém Flusser

„The technical images currently all around us are in the process of magically restructuring our ‚reality‘ and turning it into a ‚global image scenario‘.
Human beings forget they created the images in order to orient themselves in the world.
Since they are no longer able to decode them, their lives become a function of their own images: Imagination has turned into hallucination.”
