Here as Virilio states, "all one can do is guess." But Virilio's
position is not one of pure guessery. His extrapolationist position
against his delirium state, has the architecture of a 23rd century
scientist: three parts - fractal geometry, two parts - theory of
general relativity, one part - Philip K. Dick. One must step back
and stare down the medusa of progress with a mirror. This is
Virilio's call for a grey ecology. PAUL VIRILIO is a renowned
urbanist, political theorist and critic of the art of
technology.Born in Paris in 1932, Virilio is best known for his
'war model' of the growth of the modern city and the evolution of
human society. He is also the inventor of the term 'dromology' or
the logic of speed. Identified with the phenomenology of
Merleau-Ponty, the futurism of Marinetti and technoscientific
writings of Einstein, Virilio's intellectual outlook can usefully
be compared to contemporary architects, philosophers and cultural
critics such as Bernard Tschumi, Gilles Deleuze and Jean
Baudrillard. Virilio is the author, among other books of Speed and
Politics, The Information Bomb, Open Sky, and most recently, The
Original Accident.
