| In his book 'Open Sky' Paul Virilio described the new technological environment and the postindustrial 'technosphere' where :'The law of mechanical proximity that once allowed us to carve up and develop the human environment, the 'exogenous' environment of the species, is giving way to law of electromagnetic proximity about which we really know nothing and understand even less'. If information from any point can be transmitted with the speed of light, the concepts of near and far, horizon, distance and space itself no longer exists. The new space is a claustrophobic world without any depth or horizon, distinction between the 'real' and 'virtual'; the Earth becomes our prison. What are the poetic and visual aspects of such environment? |
