Bunker Archeology

Paul Virilio · 1975

Virilio is already a creator in the archive, as half of the pair who built Sainte-Bernadette, and the book is where that church comes from. He photographed the abandoned Atlantic Wall for years and argued that its bunkers were a new kind of monument: oriented, windowless, already ruins. The entry currently cites the building without the reasoning behind it.

Theory and Design in the First Machine Age

Reyner Banham · 1960

TEXTS holds three entries and no history. Banham is the one that makes the others legible: he took the machine rhetoric of the Futurists and the early modernists seriously enough to check it against what was actually built, and he was the critic who took Metabolism seriously while it was happening. Venturi's argument is a reply to his.

Capitalist Realism

Mark Fisher · 2009

The archive holds two television entries about corporate control and no text that explains why they feel the way they do. Fisher's argument is that the dominant mood is not fear of the future but the inability to imagine one, which is precisely what Severance's office and Silo's sealed shaft stage. Baudrillard is the precedent he writes from.
