Dear Flexible Visual Systems Designers,
We are coming to an end! This is the last lesson of the Foundation Course!
Lesson 8:
The FVS Manifesto Explained
After going into the details of the mechanics of Flexible Visual Systems, let us zoom out at the end of the course and have a look at the FVS Manifesto. On the first page of the book Flexible Visual Systems, you will find a Manifesto that does not come with any explanation. In lectures, I tried to explain each of the points because I am aware that every abbreviation contains the risk of misinterpretation. This is an attempt to make the elaboration available to everyone.
