Acceleration And Absence

Mode of production of science and technology to change will produce a Dromologie phenomenon at the same time,this phenomenon makes people way of perception of time and space changes,the time and space in the visual image,aesthetic in this cycle also produces change,disappeared from this process as the main body of the man,all human perception system is obscured.Technology reconstructs people’s perception experience and separates people’s own life experience from the image.Without time,people become subjects without the ability to think and reflect,but only a state of continuous and rapid reflex action.The constant compression and rewriting of time,space and distance change the relationship between man and the objective world and images,which gives rise to Velocimetry,the core point of Virilio’s critical theory of technical art.In Virilio’s theory,technology,people and artistic images interact with each other and exist in a system of accelerated circulation.Body and technology are the media that translate physical images in the real world into spiritual images in the mind.Such mental images have people’s own aesthetic perception and emotion,which will make the viewer produce a continuous and unpredictable state of "absence".But now that technology has become the medium for understanding images and the functional change of people as the medium between the real world and the production of images,Virilio wants to criticize the relationship between the technological revolution and the production of images.One is the disappearance of the subject of human creation.For example,artists are no longer human beings and can be replaced by artificial intelligence.The other is that people’s aesthetic perception gradually transforms to the perception direction brought by science and technology.People may use any visual machine to appreciate images,so that viewing is no longer an active behavior,but becomes more technical,ruthless and utilitarian.These changes make the "absence" symptom of art creators and viewers disappear.The cause of the disappearance is the acceleration of technology.What Virilio finally reflects on is the relationship between technology and art,mainly reflecting on the function of technology and art in the 20 th century.The main problem to be solved in this paper is to clarify the fragmentary artistic views of Virilio,and how art records or bears such changes in the accelerated society for the original art of image,art of representation and art of viewing.
