Exhibition @ HKW
Hypertext Prototype 2
The Flusser Hypertext Prototype 2 was originally produced in 1992 by
the Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS) of
today?s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). TheHypertext Protype
2 is futuristic model of a new ?multimedia study system? based on the
lecture Schreiben f?rs Publizieren by Vil?m Flusser held on the 2
March 1989 on invitation of ITAS. The original Hypertext Prototype 2
was given to the _Vil?m_Flusser_Archive in 2007. The Flusser Hypertext
has languished for almost 20 years, trapped in its original Apple
Performa 630 chassis, until it was retrieved and rehabilitated in 2010
by the _Vil?m_Flusser_Archiv under Claudia Becker.
The Flusser Hypertext at transmediale.11 is a clone of the Hypertext
Prototype 2 and is running on an Apple Macintosh System of the time
when the Hypertext was produced. The _Vil?m_Flusser_Archive is
currently working on a weborientated porting.

SCREENING @ HKW (Theatersaal)
McLuhan vs Flusser vs McLuhan vs Flusser presents: Global Village
Idiots - a speculative encounter between visionaries of media theory
Marshall McLuhan and Vil?m Flusser.
Start 05.02.2011: 12.00 p.m.
Vil?m Flusser and Marshall McLuhan were arguably two of the most
important thinkers of the early Internet Age. Unfortunately both left
us before many of the changes they foresaw had come to be. What would
they have thought of our current age of ubiquitous networked
computing? Both thinkers forsaw in electronic images the beginnings of
a cultural turn, away from the the high specialization in the literacy
of the modern period, towards a retrieval of a sort of tribal
consciousness as images become more powerful.
This screening will feature selections of rare historic video and film
documents where each thinker describes his fears and hopes for an age
of technical images.



Screening of McLuhan and Flusser archival material with introduction
and discussion led by Baruch Gottlieb, researcher at the
_Vil?m_Flusser_Archiv, and Claudia Becker

Vil?m Flusser Theory Award
The Vil?m Flusser Theory Award (VFTA) promotes innovative media theory
and practice-oriented research exploring current and pending positions
in digital art, media culture and networked society. Echoing media
philosopher and cultural nomad Vil?m Flusser's unique investigative,
cross-disciplinary and analytic approach, the Award is a call to
reflect upon, act and challenge the rapidly changing technological and
societal conditions that underpin the contours of digital culture. The
call is open to publications, positions, and projects from a broad
range of theoretical, artistic, critical or design-based research that
seeks to establish and define new forms of exchange, vocabularies and
cultural dialogue. The Vil?m Flusser Theory Award was initiated in
2008 as a collaboration with the Vil?m_Flusser_Archive of the
University of Arts, Berlin (UdK).
