At every moment the vast and horrible Thing breaks in upon us through the crevices and
invades our precarious dwelling - place, that Thing we try so hard to forget but which is always there, separated from us only
by thin dividing walls: fire, pestilence, earthquake, storm, the unleashing of
dark moral
forces, all these sweep away ruthlessly, in an instant, what we had laboured with mind and heart to build up and make beautiful.
By accelerating networked capital,
Dark Velocity1 mobilizes contemporary art's essential processes of valuation and distribution not as external predatory
forces that
invade art's autonomy but as resources for actively negotiating agency rather than merely reflecting upon it.
