Paul Virilio

'Velocity' is the key word of Paul Virilio's thinking, the post-modern treasure, and the modern society capital. Reality is no longer defined by time and space, but in a virtual world, in which technology allows the existence of the paradox of being everywhere at the same time while being nowhere at all. The loss of the site, city, and nation in favor of globalization implies also the loss of rights and of democracy, as these are contrary to the immediate and instantaneous nature of information. In Paul Virilio's view, Marshall McLuhan's global village is nothing but a 'World Ghetto'.

Martha Rosler | "Unsettling the Fragments" | Muenster Sculpture Project 2007

In Unsettling the Fragments, Rosler produces a reading of Munster's history through its architecture and institutions. In one of many proposed or realised moves, Rosler re-sites replicas of the cages used to display the corpses of leading Anabaptists after their torture and execution in 1536, which hang from the tower of St Lambert's church high above the consciousness of shoppers and pedestrians in the old town, to the veranda of the municipal library. The human scale of these articles of torture and display is returned to heretics who dared to imagine and proclaim heaven on earth. A viewer needs little if any prompting to read the fragments Rosler unsettles into active memory.

Joseph Beuys | 7000 Oaks | Kassel, Germany | 1982 | Documenta 7

“Only on condition of a radical widening of definitions will it be possible for art and activities related to art [to] provide evidence that art is now the only evolutionary-revolutionary power. Only art is capable of dismantling the repressive effects of a senile social system that continues to totter along the deathline: to dismantle in order to build ‘A SOCIAL ORGANISM AS A WORK OF ART’… EVERY HUMAN BEING IS AN ARTIST who – from his state of freedom – the position of freedom that he experiences at first-hand – learns to determine the other positions of the TOTAL ART WORK OF THE FUTURE SOCIAL ORDER.”  -Joseph Beuys

"Every human being is an artist, a freedom being, called to participate in transforming and reshaping the conditions, thinking and structures that shape and inform our lives" 

- Joseph Beuys
