In the transliterate lifeworld, a Flickr image is understood not as an isolated event but in conjunction with the user’s knowledge about what a Flickr page is; what prompted that person to post it, and why 16 people left comments. It’s not just a photo–collecting technology, but the equivalent of the tree in a Dreamtime story — another kind of “sensible landscape” marked with “vibrational residues” which the transliterate user can pick up and “read”.
