Ebook: The Accident of Art

"Urbanist and foremost theorist of technology, Paul Virilio trained as a painter, studying under Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Bazaine, and de Stael. In The Accident of Art, his third extended conversation with Sylvere Lotringer, Virilio looks back on the century in order to address for the first time the impact of technology on contemporary art. This book completes a collaborative trilogy that began in 1983 with Pure War and continued in 2002 with Crepuscular Dawn, an examination of the collapse of space into speed in architecture and bio-technology."--Jacket.
