More quotes by Paul Virilio
Art is drama. Any relationship to art is also a relationship to death.
Paul Virilio
For the US, the Kosovo War was a success because it encouraged the development of the Pentagon's 'Revolution in Military Affairs' (RMA). The war provided a test site for experimentation, and paved the way for emergence of what I call in Strategie de la deception 'the second deterrence'.
Paul Virilio
All future wars, all future accidents will be live wars and live accidents.
Paul Virilio
The globally constituted accident can be compared to what people who work at the stock exchange call 'systemic risk'.
Paul Virilio
For the time being, technologies are colonizing our body through implants. We started with human implants, but research leads us to microtechnological implants.
Paul Virilio
The atomic bomb provoked a specific accident.
Paul Virilio
To separate mind from body doesn't make any sense.
Paul Virilio
For the strategies of deception are concerned with deceiving an opponent through the logistics of perception. But these strategies are not merely aimed at the Serbs or the Iraqis but also at all those who might support [Slobodan] Milosevic or Saddam Hussein.
Paul Virilio
Technologies first equipped the territorial body with bridges, aqueducts, railways, highways, airports, etc. Now that the most powerful technologies are becoming tiny - microtechnologies, all technologies can invade the body. These micro-machines will feed the body. Research is being conducted in order to create additional memory for instance.
Paul Virilio
It will no longer be war that is the continuation of politics by other means, it will be what I have dubbed 'the integral accident' that is the continuation of politics by other means.
Paul Virilio
To someone like Zurbaran, who paints still lifes, lemons and pears are the objects of art. But to the electronics engineer who works on the technologies of virtual reality, the whole reality has become the object of art, with a possibility to substitute the virtual with the real.
Paul Virilio
I could give examples of cabinet ministers, including defence ministers, who have no technological culture at all. In other words, what I am suggesting is that the hype generated by the publicity around the Internet and so on is not counter balanced by a political intelligence that is based on a technological culture.
Paul Virilio
Globalization cannot take shape without the speed of light.
Paul Virilio
Today, everything is about speed and real time. We are no longer concerned with real space.
Paul Virilio
What will prevail is this will to reduce the world to the point where one could possess it. All military technologies reduce the world to nothing. And since military technologies are advanced technologies, what they actually sketch today is the future of the civil realm.
Paul Virilio
I am always concerned with ideas of territory and movement. Indeed, my first book after Bunker Archeology was entitled L'insecurite du territoire (1976).
Paul Virilio
Television can only destroy.
Paul Virilio
Television was first conceived to be used as some kind of telescope, not for broadcasting. Originally, Sworkin, the inventor of television, wanted to settle cameras on rockets so that it would be possible to watch the sky.
Paul Virilio
Cyberspace is an accident of the real. Virtual reality is the accident of reality itself.
Paul Virilio
Resistance is always possible! But we must engage in resistance first of all by developing the idea of a technological culture.
