Paul Virilio
The Aesthetics of Disappearance
| In The Aesthetics
of Disappearance, Paul Virilio traces out the relationship
of biological optics to the technological "production
of appearance." In the perceptual gaps demanding illusions
of continuity, Virilio posits a hyper-opportunity for the
production of art in speed. Jumping from Old Testament
parable to the history of contemporary cinema, to the history
of philosophy and contemporary technology, Virilio teleports
among an irregular constellation of high-speed artifice
where love is a motion faster than light and the paradoxes
of empiricism mire science in "motion without mobility." |
