“Lingering is another time-consuming practice. Perception that latches on to information does not have a lasting and slow gaze. Information makes us short-sighted and short of breath. It is not possible to linger on information. Lingering on things in contemplation, intentionless seeing, which wold be a formula for happiness, gives way to the hunt for information. Today, we pursue information without gaining knowledge. We take notice [nehmen Kenntnis] of everything without gaining any insight [Erkenntnis]. We travel [fahren] across the world without having an experience [Erfahrung].” InformationPerceptionPatienceContemplationLingering Book:No-cosas: Quiebras del mundo de hoy Source: No-cosas: Quiebras del mundo de hoy
“An altogether different temporality is inherent in information. It is a phenomenon of atomized time, namely of point-time. [...] Atomized time is a discontinuous time. There is nothing to bind events together and thus found a connection, a duration. The senses are therefore confronted with the unexpected and sudden, which, in turn, produces a diffuse feeling of anxiety. Atomization, individualization and discontinuity are also responsible for various forms of violence.” InformationAnxietyIndividualismInformation AgeTemporalityDiscontinuityAtomismExperience Of Time Book:The Scent of Time: A Philosophical Essay on the Art of Lingering Source: The Scent of Time: A Philosophical Essay on the Art of Lingering
