Rationale
Here is an outline of the logic motivating this collection of experiments.
I. Dromosphere
￿
Frame: Konsult proposes a practice of citizen participation adequate to
the conditions of the dromosphere (dimension collapse) theorized by Paul
Virilio. Virilio argues convincingly that the light-speed of the digital appara-
tus has made possible (inevitable) a General Accident that occurs everywhere
simultaneously.
￿
Dimension pollution compresses time-space into Now, challenging literate
formations of individual critical thinking and the democratic public sphere.
This challenge is the crisis alluded to in the name of the consultancy -
EmerAgency, whose motto is: “Problems B Us.” Dromos (race) consists
of three positions (moments, opportunities, openings): start, turn, finish.
Konsult practices Turn (trope).
II. Prudence
￿
Konsult draws upon the experience of Arts and Letters traditions with
immediate intuitive judgment to formulate flash reason as the logic needed
for deliberation (community decision-making) in the dromosphere.
￿
Prudence (Aristotle's phronesis ) is the virtue of good judgment. A person
with good judgment is able ( posse ) - in the midst of an ongoing situation -
to draw upon past experience to make the right decision about how to act
