Summary:
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.''

Jorinde Voigt: nexus
$61.00
(available to order)
Summary:
In her drawings, German artist Jorinde Voigt (born 1977) develops a code of abstractionist signage that at first appears deeply subjective but soon reveals itself as the product of strict rules and systems. Blurring borders between science and art, these drawings analyze the structures of diverse cultural patterns via abstract parameters such as speed, frequency and orientation.
