Schema
Here you can find our notes and commentary covering a variety of critical and theoretical works.

This blog is very fascinating. Love seeing some people working with Flusser, doing theory and strongly media-technologically-focused philosophy in a similar way to myself and those in whom I’m interested. Keep it up!
Exactement! Encouraging to see serious research done on these topics. Prolific.
