[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!

[Vilém Flusser Archive] 12 May 2024, Berlin: A Flusserian Picnic

You are cordially invited to join us for a gathering in celebration of Flusser’s 104th birthday. We will enjoy great food, drinks, and engaging conversations. Please remember to bring your own food, drinks, and perhaps a blanket for added comfort. It would also be nice if everyone could bring their favourite Flusser quote, which we can discuss together.

In addition to the birthday festivities, we will also use this occasion to bid farewell to Anita Jóri, whose contract at the archive concludes at the end of the month. It will be a lovely opportunity to say goodbye and share fond memories.

The event will take place in Treptower Park, located near the S-Bahn station. You can find the exact location here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/cAAbSWezRiGK1haX8

We look forward to seeing many of you there, and please feel free to bring other like-minded Flusserians along.
