SynopsisArt 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.
