May 28-29
“Pandemic of Virtual”. Strategies of image and representation in times of ontological confusion. Physics, politics and poetics as modes of tactical virtualization of the normative real. Inherently panoramic axiom of real entails a gesture of opening (or starting up) windows, in fact, opening them to the mirrors—we are still in Plato’s cave, albeit better illuminated one. So, the problem (if there is any, really) is not with the virtual, the problem is “real”.
