Summary:
Ce livre traite de politique et d'architecture - de leurs interactions, de leurs intersections. Une occupation civile. La politique de l'architecture israélienne est la somme de travaux d'architectes, d'universitaires et d'auteurs israéliens, qui permet d'examiner le rôle de l'architecture israélienne dans le conflit du Moyen-Orient. À travers des essais, des cartes et des photographies, Une occupation civile démontre comment l'architecture et l'urbanisme sont, en un siècle, passés du statut d'activités professionnelles banales à celui d'instruments tactiques et d'armes stratégiques. Depuis le début du XXe siècle, le projet déclaré du sionisme consistait à bâtir un foyer national pour le peuple juif sur la terre d'Israël. Depuis l'offensive d'implantation des années trente, fondée sur les villages de type Homa Oumigdal (mur et tour) en passant par la planification totale de l'État d'Israël peu après son indépendance, jusqu'à la colonisation des territoires occupés de 1967 à ce jour - l'architecture israélienne a été l'instrument concret de la réalisation du projet sioniste, exactement à l'image de son objectif utopique. La controverse politique et professionnelle qui a suivi l'interdiction de la première édition de cet ouvrage par son éditeur originel, l'Association israélienne des architectes unis, est la preuve flagrante que l'architecture n'est absolument pas une activité innocente. Puisque Israël peut être considéré comme l'un des laboratoires les plus radicaux de notre époque, les questions que pose ce livre doivent être étudiées dans un contexte bien plus large: la politique de l'architecture israélienne n'est finalement pas différente de la politique de toute architecture.

Summary:
Urging us to face up to the consequences of our braves-new-world technologies, Virilio calls for the creation of a Museum of the Accident to fight our habituation to horror and violence, and our daily overexposure to terror, in the name, not of some preventive war, but of a preventive intelligence that would help us deal with both natural and artificial disasters.

Summary:
Acclaimed French photographer, filmmaker and journalist Raymond Depardon arrived in New York in the winter of 1980. He came to visit a friend who had just taken a job in the city, and to kill time he strolled around the streets with his Leica. As a self-imposed constraint, and to encourage serendipitous results, he decided to take pictures without ever using the camera's viewfinder. Working incognito throughout the nooks and crannies of New York City, Depardon amassed two or three rolls a day, but he was thoroughly disappointed by the results. He never mentioned the experiment to anybody and has only now decided to unveil these "blind" pictures to his public. Reexamining the work some 27 years after the photographs were taken, Depardon was surprised to discover that most of his subjects were aware that they were being photographed, and that consequently the images contain more artifice than he had expected. With an essay by Paul Virilio.

Summary:
In "A Landscape of Events", the celebrated French architect, urban planner, and philosopher Paul Virilio focuses on the cultural chaos of the 1980s and 1990s. It was a time, he writes, that reflected the "cruelty of an epoch, the hills and dales of daily life, the usual clumps of habits and commonplaces."

It was a time, he writes, that reflected the "cruelty of an epoch, the hills and dales of daily life, the usual clumps of habits and commonplaces." Urban disorientation, the machines of war, and the acceleration of events in contemporary life are Virilio's ongoing concerns. He explores them in events ranging from media coverage of the Gulf War to urban rioting and lawlessness. Some will see Virilio as a pessimist discouraged by "the acceleration of the reality of time," while others will find his recording of "atypical events" to be clairvoyant.

Summary:
Published to accompany an exhibition he has conceived for the Fondation Cartier in Paris, this book examines the philosophical issues raised by our confrontation with accidents and their impact on our world. Accidents capture our attention, surprise or shock us, disrupt or ultimately alter the course of our existence. Whether significant or insignificant, benign or disastrous, accidents always reveal something about ourselves and the systems we construct. For Virilio, to invent the ship is to invent the shipwreck, to invent electricity is to invent electrocution. Accidents are consequently, in his view, inherent in all technological systems. This catalogue features over 200 illustrations, including press photographs, paintings, and engravings representing natural and industrial accidents from the past three centuries. It also contains reproductions of the works of the many artists included in the exhibit, most notably Lebbeus Woods, Nancy Rubins, Stephen Vitiello, Cai Guo Qiang, Bruce Conner, Tony Oursler, Jonas Mekas, and Jem Cohen.

Urbanist and technological theorist Paul Virilio trained as a painter, studying under Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Bazaine and de Stael. In The Accident of Art, his third extended conversation with Sylvère Lotringer, Virilio addresses the situation of art within technological society for the first time. This book completes a collaborative trilogy the two began in 1982 with Pure War and continued with Crepuscular Dawn, their 2002 work on architecture and biotechnology. In The Accident of Art, Virilio and Lotringer argue that a direct relation exists between war trauma and art. Why has art failed to reinvent itself in the face of technology, unlike performing art? Why has art simply retreated into painting, or surrendered to digital technology? Accidents, Virilio claims, can free us from speed's inertia. As technological catastrophes, accidents are inventions in their own right.
