this is the repository of various diagrams and mappings to understand the multifariousness of images and Einbildungskraft - imagination - or the power of thinking through technical images according to Vilem Flusser

"I believe that to engage oneself in projects that are known to be unrealisable but desirable, and to seek to convince others to also engage in such projects, turns such projects a little less unrealisable, and I do not know of any other type of engagement more worthy of its name." Vilém Flusser

mutlifariousness

Here is a board that is open to collective mapping of the concept of the image across disciplines and references as well as according to Flusser's concept of the technical image

multifariousness

einbildungskraft

This working map of the concept of Einbildungskraft attempts a kind of genealogy: to locate its origin, its understanding as well as its different role and influence historically in order to understand how Flusser's vision of a "new imagination" related to synthetic images can help us today in understanding generative images. Contributions across disciplines are needed but access cannot be widely open, please email me here to get access and start collaboration.
