Speed is the triumph of effect
over cause, of the moment over time eternal, of superficiality and pure
objectification over the depths of passion. Speed creates a consecrated
space that can lead to death, where the only rule is to erase your
tracks. The triumph of oblivion over remembrance; limitless intoxication
with memory loss. The pure object's shallowness and reversibility in the
desert's pure geometry. (Baudrillard, p.17) |
