Description
The city as we know it today is a complex web of interactive networks that can feel like a prison-house of illusion. For Paul Virilio, this phenomenon begins with our desire to escape the oppressive technological environment and regain our sense of self. Originally written in French in 1983, Lost Dimension remains a cornerstone work by Virilio, exploring the intersection of urban planning, architecture, aesthetics, and sociology in the context of contemporary hyperreality. In this multidisciplinary analysis, Virilio describes how our understanding of space is affected by the rise of screens that function as gateways to home, office, and public spaces. We are living in a world where time has overtaken space, and telecommunications has replaced both our living and working environments. This book offers a thought-provoking examination of the effects of hyperreality on our understanding of space.
