I am no Barbarian, I am an Alien -

I am no Barbarian, I am an Alien !

In “I am no barbarian, I am an alien!” we make a radical trip to our second planet; beyond the visible man-made landscape; into the aerial, circulative systems of the built world. What surrounds us, but we cannot see.
Propelled by the circulation of speed and virtuality we leave history behind. Since at this rate, the idea of history ends as the programmed rules the experienced, capital escapes into the universal and scarcity becomes obsolete. “We have the particle accelerator that has smashed the referential orbit of things once and for all,” Baudrillard wrote before the accelerator presented us with something faster than the speed of light. No surprise for the barbarians, time travel already exists in science-fiction. I, however, am no barbarian. I am an alien!
