Paul Virilio puts art back where it matters - at the centre 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. Speed and politics - what Virilio
defined as the key characteristics of the twentieth century - have
been transformed in the twenty-first century to speed and mass
culture. And the defining characteristic of mass culture today is
panic. This induced panic relies on a new, all-seeing technology.
And the first casualty of this is the human response. What we are
losing is the very human 'art of seeing', one individual's
engagement with another or with an event, be that political or
artistic. What we are losing is our sense of the aesthetic. Where
art used to talk of the aesthetics of disappearance, it must now
confront the disappearance of the aesthetic.
