商品簡介
"Where does the city without gates begin? Perhaps inside that fugitive anxiety,that shudder that seizes the minds of those who, just returning from a long vacation, contemplatethe imminent encounter with mounds of unwanted mail or with a house that's been broken into andemptied of its contents. It begins with the urge to flee and escape for a second from an oppressivetechnological environment, to regain one's senses and one's sense of self."--from Lost Dimension
Originally written in French in 1983, LostDimension remains a cornerstone book in the work of Paul Virilio: the one most closelytied to his background as an urban planner and architect, and the one that most clearly anticipatesthe technologically wired urban space we live in today: a city of permanent transit and internalizedborders, where time has overtaken space, and where telecommunications has replaced both our livingand our working environments. We are living in the realm of the lost dimension, where thethree-dimensional public square of our urban past has collapsed into the two-dimensional interfaceof the various screens that function as gateways to home, office, and public spaces, be they theflat-screen televisions on our walls, the computer screens on our desktops, or the smartphones inour pockets. In this multidisciplinary tapestry of contemporary physics, architecture, aesthetictheory, and sociology, Virilio describes the effects of today's hyperreality on our understanding ofspace. Having long since passed the opposition of city and country, and city and suburb, thespeed-ridden city and space of today are an opposition between the nomadic and the sedentary: a webof interactive, informational networks that turn our world into a prison-house of illusorytranscendence.
