“The time index of all experience has changed. Transit has become a principle; the flâneur's going into the world has given way to zooming in, to accelerating, to condensing complex relationships into pictograms, signals, effects that come across as the visualization of impulses of pleasure and displeasure. Our form of existence is speed. That is the therapeutic aspect of life in the smartphone medium. We are waking up in the golden age of the restless and will be able to say: When we stepped out onto the streets in the cities, the battle for our attention had already begun. The facades shouted at us, the naked people ensnared us in the shop windows, there was always something flattering and flattering that wanted to please us more than anything else in the world. Everything close-up, everything in its most extreme form, and us in between, the embattled, the embattled.” — Roger Willemsen.[*]
