In the essay  "Shelters, caves and bell tents", Vilem Flusser argues that  tents are the nomadic heirs of the first dwellings that human beings had; the caves. The cave walls served as a support for image fixation through what we know as cave painting. Then the wall of the tent, by analogy to its predecessor, would also have these characteristics of containing information. Therefore, he proposes that screens, as a broader concept, have a memory condition.
