디지털 기술시대의 예술 : 폴 비릴리오(Paul Virilio)의 속도 개념과 피크노렙시(Picnorepsie)를 중심으로

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the situation in which digital media and new technologies are actively incorporated into the contemporary era and social phenomena caused by the digital environment through the concept of speed by French philosopher Paul Virilio. It is meaningful to explore alternatives that can properly greet and cope with the future society that will come by raising the issue of the cyclical relationship between humans and technology proposed by Virilio. Recently, we are experiencing unprecedented pandemics, wars, natural disasters, climate change, and food crises, and technology dependence has accelerated further due to anxiety and reaction to them. In particular, with the evolution of real-time media, the extinction of time and space outside of physicality and the movement to cyberspace were maximized, and the perception was actively reorganized around digital technology. In this study, the researcher suggests that critical discussions about the technology proposed by Virilio should be re-examined in the present era, which is a rapid transition to the digital technology era. Focusing on various social pathological phenomena and dehumanization such as reorganization of senses, alienation of humans, decadence, digital polarization, and technology dependence that occur in the name of technological development, we intend to explore alternative possibilities through the connection between works directed to experience and unique time beyond the scope of existing senses.
