Art used to be an engagement between artist and materials. But in our media world art has changed, its very materials have changed and have become technologized. This change reflects a broader social shift. Speed and politics have been transformed in the twenty-first century to speed and mass culture. This work puts art at the centre of politics.
Art used to be an engagement between the artist and materials, but now as art practices and mediums have changed, these materials have also changed. Where art used to talk of the aesthetics of disappearance, it must now confront the disappearance of the aesthetic. In the twenty-first century, the new battleground is art as light versus art as matter. In this work, author Paul Virilio argues that this change reflects how speed and politics have been transformed to speed and mass culture.
