The first genuine appraisal of Virilio's contribution to
contemporary art, photography, film, television and more. This
collection of 13 original writings, including a newly translated
piece by Virilio himself, is indispensable reading for all students
and researchers of contemporary visual culture. Paul Virilio is one
of the leading and most challenging critics of art and technology
of the present period. Re-conceptualising the most enduring
philosophical conventions on everything from technology and
photography to literature, anthropology, cultural, and media
studies through his own original theories and arguments, Virilio's
work has produced substantial debate, compelling readers to ask if
his criticism is out of touch or out in front of traditional
perspectives.
