Virilio, in his usual way when speaking with Lotringer (this book is presented in the Semiotext[e] style many will be acquainted with by now), such as his asides on Al Jolson in blackface, and various offside comments about Duchamp and Warhol. That being said, his commentary on the place of the body in art, and art's many failings are very erudite. Artists wished to destroy artists, but only ever as artists.

This is a conversation between urbanist speed freak Paul Virillio and literary critic Sylvere Lotringer. The format makes for an engaging read.
