In this lecture, we'll look at Paul Virilio's 1980 work, "The Aesthetics of Disappearance". This work follows up many of the themes in "Speed and Politics" (1977), particularly that of dromology (the philosophy/ontology of speed). In this work, he develops the theme of "picnolepsy", which is a state of consciousness which, for Virilio, defines the postmodern individual. It is defined by an accelerated speed of everyday life which leaves one in an infantile, epileptic state, attempting to grasp onto empty moments in the hopes of achieving stability. This is an interesting text for understanding the development of accelerationism and is surely provocative at many parts. Enjoy!
