More quotes by Paul Virilio
Globalization cannot take shape without the speed of light.
Paul Virilio
As I have said many times before, I was among the first people to experience the German Occupation of France during the Second World War. I was 7-13 years old during the War and did not really internalise its significance.
Paul Virilio
Science, which is not so attached to 'truth' as it once was, but more to immediate 'effectiveness', is now drifting towards a decline, it's civic fall from grace.
Paul Virilio
Cyberspace is an accident of the real. Virtual reality is the accident of reality itself.
Paul Virilio
Today, almost all-current technologies put the speed of light to work.
Paul Virilio
As I said back in 1984, the idea of logistics is not only about oil, about ammunitions and supplies but also about images.
Paul Virilio
However, the Kosovo War took place in orbital space. In other words, war now takes place in 'aero-electro-magnetic space'. It is equivalent to the birth of a new type of flotilla, a home fleet, of a new type of naval power, but in orbital space!

Video is originally a de-corporation, a disqualification of the sensorial organs which are replaced by machines. The eye and the hand are replaced by the data glove, the body is replaced by a data suit, sex is replaced by cybersex. All the qualities of the body are transferred to the machine.
Paul Virilio
Even among the elite, in government circles, technological culture is somewhat deficient.
Paul Virilio
Television exposes the world to the accident. The world is exposed to accidents through television.
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
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
Wealth is the hidden side of speed and speed the hidden side of wealth.
Paul Virilio
Already, viral contamination offers an initial response to the question of the downside of electronic circuits, but another area of research beckons the area of ecological pollution. The pollution not only of air, water, and other substances, but also the unperceived pollution of distances.
Paul Virilio
Jean Baudrillard is a friend of mine, I do not agree with him on that one! For me, the significance of the war in Kosovo was that it was a war that moved into space.
Paul Virilio
... the blinding Hiroshima flash... literally photographed the shadow cast by beings and things, so that every surface immediately became war's recording surface, its film.
Paul Virilio
The research on cyberspace is a quest for God. To be God. To be here and there.
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
In a way, technologies have negated the transcendental God in order to invent the machine-God. However, these two gods raise similar questions.
Paul Virilio
While the human gaze becomes more and more fixed, losing some of its natural speed and sensitivity, photographic shots, on the contrary, become even faster.
