Looking is much faster; it is the medium of the media, the most rapid one.
Everything must come into play instantaneously. We never communicate. In
the to-and-fro of communication, the instantaneity of looking, light and
seduction is already lost.

But against the acceleration of networks and circuits, we will also look
for slowness; not the nostalgic slowness of the mind, but insoluble
immobility, the slower than slow; inertia and silence, inertia insoluble
by effort, silence insoluble by dialogue. There is a secret here too.
