"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 it has now become technologized. Its
materials have become light rather than matter. In the 21st Century
the new battleground is art as light versus art as matter. Virilio
argues that this change reflects how speed and politics - the
defining characteristics of the 20th Century - have been
transformed in the 21st Century to speed and mass culture. Politics
has been replaced with mass culture...and the defining
characteristic of mass culture today is cold panic. The same panic
which has used terrorism to derail democracy has hijacked the whole
art enterprise. This panic is reliant on audio-visual technology to
create a new all-seeing, panoptic politics. And the first casualty
of this politics is "the art of seeing." Where art used to talk of
the aesthetics of disappearance, it must now confront the
disappearance of the aesthetic. In the 21st Century, the new
battleground is art as light versus art as matter.
