Riddle me this Batman: what's the point? A little test in visual literacy 101? Less glock more shock.

Transcode this buddy:

Vilém Flusser, a Czech-German not so widely advertised and appreciated Judeo-Christian philosopher of photography and phenomenological aesthesis once has noted that: “the old imagination is the mere ability to make images of (external or ‘internal’) circumstances, and the converse ability to recognize these circumstances in the images. In other words: the ability to encode phenomena in two-dimensional symbols and to read these symbols. – The “new imagination” (Einbildung) means the transcoding of algorithms into images, i.e., the translating of numbers into lines, surfaces, and henceforth into bodies and animated bodies. The new imaginists are people who attempt to turn automatic apparatuses against automation.”.
