Vilém Flusser on Revolution - Dictionary of Arguments
Rötzer I 60 Revolution/Art/Flusser: the Bishop set the fair value on the market, e.g. for a pot. With the revolt of the craftsmen, which we call the Renaissance or Humanism, the same has changed from the field to the workshop as an author. >Renaissance, >Humanism, >Market, >Emancipation. First of all, the craftsmen had to create a free market, i. e. remove art critics from the market So far, the Bishop had the insight into the eternal and supreme values, Plato: theoria. >Plato. The revolutionary craftsmen now claimed that they would no longer imitate the eternal idea, but that they would invent new and better ones and therefore also more true pots. This called into question the difference between discovering and inventing. Approaching the idea could only bring a certain imperfect discovery, and thus error and deception. Rötzer I 61 But the new craftsmen claimed to be inventors. Thus the contempt for art-making turned into admiration. Old theory: the shapes are neatly superimposed: the higher ones contain the lower ones, e. g. the pot contains the ball. This made philosophy a climbing uphill. New view: no longer conclude from one form to another, but make another. Rötzer I 61 New theory/Flusser: Development of ever better models. Theory changes from the cathedral to the workshop and contradicts in two ways what is done there. 1. The theoretical view must adapt to the circumstances and 2. models are handed over and you have to see what the result is. Double contradiction between observation and theory on the one hand and experiment and theory on the other. > Modern science and technology. In the workshops in question, people no longer talked about art, but about technology, and a writer is no longer sought in vain. >Technology, >Art, >Authorship. Rötzer I 64 Revolution/Flusser: a) Previously, it was pointless to differentiate between the goodness of a plough and that of an image of saints ontologically, both of which served to save people from the valley of tears. Techne is the equivalent of ars, so one and the same. >The good, >Techne. b) Afterwards there is not only a difference, but the image of saint became superfluous, perhaps even disturbing, which distracted ideologically attention from the work. >Labour. That is why the art had to be separated from the technology. >Art. Rötzer I 70 Cultural Revolution/Flusser: is the reluctance not to want to recognise all these images and sounds as art, since they do not correspond to the modern art term. Rock music, for example, has a great influence on our behaviour, such as car gears. >History, >Progress, >Culture._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
