Summary:
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.

Lieu d'émergence de la politique, la cosmopolis l'est également de la stratégie, géopolitique et géostratégie se trouvant confondues dans ses murs, ses tours, sa voirie, ses places d'armes. Cependant, depuis 2001, cette dimension géographique des conflits a radicalement changé de nature, au point que la concentration metropolitique l'emporte désormais sur l'antique géopolitique des nations. Après Hiroshima, l'attentat massif contre New York a en effet inauguré l'ère du " déséquilibre de la terreur " en ruinant l'importance stratégique, non seulement du nombre d'adversaires en présence, mais également de toute étendue. Centralisant ainsi l'effroi sur la seule concentration verticale des métropoles, le caractère suicidaire de l'action engagée a ruiné avec la forme militaire de la guerre, la forme politique de la Cité.

Art as far as the eye can see puts art back where it matters, at the center of politics. Art used to be an engagement between artist and materials. But, in our new media world, art has changed; its very materials have changed and have become technologized. This change reflects a broader social shift.

Art as far as the eye can see puts art back where it matters, at the center of politics. Art used to be an engagement between artist and materials. But, in our new media world, art has changed; its very materials have changed and have become technologized. This change reflects a broader social shift.

Summary:
To read these five essays of 1983 is to begin to come to terms with the theoretical cataclysm of the present. In Lost Dimension, Paul Virilio considers the displacement of the concept of dimensional space by Einsteinian space/time as it is related to the transparent boundaries of the postmodern city and contemporary economy. Virilio imagines a coming world of interactive, informational networks offering a prison-house of illusionary transcendence. He pictures global terrorism (perpetrated by and against technological states) filling up the surreal void of an abandoned real. In a multidisciplinary excavation of contemporary physics, architecture, esthetic theory, and sociology, Virilio traces the dystopic unity of the contemporary Western predicament with lightning prescience and clarity.

Summary:
French cultural theorist and urbanist Paul Virilio is best known for his writings on media, technology, and architecture. Gathered here in this publication are four conversations in which Virilio and architectural writer Marianne Brausch look at a twentieth century characterized by enormous technological acceleration and by technocultural accidents of barbarism and horror. The dialogues in "A Winter’s Journey" —structured loosely around the dates 1940, 1950, 1960, and 1980— chart Virilio’s intimate intellectual biography, from his childhood lived against the unstable backdrop of a heavily bombed, wartime Nantes to maturity in a crisis space that is neither entirely militarized nor yet fully civilian, but somewhere between the two. In the course of these conversations, Virilio and Brausch ultimately find hope that in understanding the events of the last century and the cultural responses spawned by them, we can create a more humane era that is more adept at handling the transformations of its technology and culture.

Summary:
How would it be if what we take for human advance were simply a technological progress that literally leaves us out of its equations? What if Progress is not humanity striking out bravely towards the future, but an ultimately destructive force? Paul Virilio paints a bleak picture of current scientific, cultural, social and political values. Art has succumbed to the techniques of advertising and in politics, the battle for hearts and minds has become a mere convergence of opinion. TV ratings have triumphed over universal suffrage. The events of September 11 reflect both the manipulation of a global sub-proletariat and the delusions of an élite of rich students and technicians who resemble the 'suicidal members of the Heaven's Gate cybersect'. And, in this post-humanist dystopia, we are morally rudderless before the threat of biological manipulations as yet undreamt.
