“If one considers the basic concepts image, apparatus, program and information, one discovers an internal connection between them: They are all based on the ‘eternal recurrence of the same’. Images are surfaces above which the eye circles only to return again and again to the starting point. Apparatuses are playthings that repeat the same movements over and over again. Programs are games that combine the same elements over and over again. Pieces of information are improbable states that break away again and again from the tendency to become probable only to sink back into it again and again.”— Flusser, Vilém. Towards a Philosophy of Photography. London: Reaktion Books, 1983. 2001.
