The Videophilosophy Manifesto

Summary/Abstract: This article presents a critique of the logocentrism in traditional forms of doing philosophy, and proposes sensory and affective images as ways of doing philosophy by moving philosophical thinking beyond verbal images. With reference to Henri Bergson’s philosophy of time, the World is composed of fluxus of images, that is the movements of contraction and loosening of time, and video can be considered to be an expression of light rather than a trace on a trailing surface, and to crystalize time by imitating material and mental synthesis. As Maurizio Lazzarato asserts, video is a technology of memory or crystallization of time, which imitates human perception, memory and mental labor. In this respect, this article proposes to see digital visualisation, recording and processing techniques as tools of doing philosophy through sensory images transcending the limits of verbal images. Thus, the subject and the tool of philosophy can be one and the same material as images of time, thereby which philosophy can adapt to new languages of thought of the future generations.
