Endless travel in cyberspace, virtual reality, and the dream of
limitless speed: technology changes our sense of self. In her new
book, Trinh Minh-ha explores the way technology transforms our
perception of reality.
"We are all engaged in social rituals in our daily activities, she
writes, "and by remaining unaware of their artistic ritual
propensity, we remain 'in conformity'." Her goal, as a thinker and
an artist, is to transform our understanding of technology and
speed so that we are able to "turn an instrument into a creative
tool and to step out of the one-dimensional, technologically
servile mind."
The paradox that "stillness contains speed within it" is central to
Trinh's concept of the digital apparatus. With her signature
amalgam of feminism, Eastern philosophy, and practical
understanding of filmmaking, Trinh Minh-ha presents a much-needed
advance in our concept of the real in a technological age.
