[Vilém Flusser Archive] Voices on the _Vilém_Flusser_Archive

Since 2007, the _Vilém_Flusser_Archive has been located at the Berlin University of the Arts. Many of you have conducted research, read, and reflected here over the past years, bringing the archive to life.

We would like to make the archive more visible at the Berlin University of the Arts, in Berlin, and beyond, thereby drawing attention to its significance — for academic and artistic research, for teaching, and for all those who continue to work with Vilém Flusser’s oeuvre.

To this end, we would like to collect voices: brief personal impressions and memories of your time in the archive and, if you like, a quote from Vilém Flusser that is important to you. We would like to make these visible on the archive’s website, the UdK website, on posters, flyers, stickers, and other formats — with your name, if you wish, but also anonymously if you prefer.

Here you will find a short document with questions to serve as inspiration.
We would be very grateful if you could return the document by 15 October 2025.
You are also welcome to send it to other people who might be interested in sharing their experiences with us.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us at any time info[at]flusser-archive.org.

Thank you very much for your support — and for being part of the history of the _Vilém_Flusser_Archive!

[Flusser Studies] Call for Papers for Special Twentieth Anniversary Issue: Changing Perspectives

To mark the occasion of the journal’s 20th birthday, Flusser Studies invites contributors to reflect on their own engagement with Flusser’s life and work (or, in a few cases, with Flusser in person), whether that extends over the full twenty years or not. What first attracted you? Has that changed? If so, how? Does Flusser look and sound different to you now? How has he affected you over the years, and does he continue to affect you?

Please submit your contribution before August 1st, 2025, to guldin.rainer@bluewin.ch.
