REMOTEWORDS#36 - "Accelerated Standstill“
REMOTEWORDS marks two roofs within the "Shenzhen Pingshan Sculpture Exhibition" with a quote from Paul Virilio (1932 - 2018). Virilio is best known for his theory of speed, simulation, virtualism and is also the founder of dromology (from ancient Greek: dromos [race track] and logos [science], “Logic of movement”), the speed of modern locomotion and communication defines our relationship to space and time. Virilio believes that speed annihilates space and compresses time. Shenzhen was China´s fastest growing city in 2018, the populations increased by approximately 498 000 residents last year.
