15. A Soliliquey
“Money has lost its narrative quality...money is talking to
itself...the glow of cyber capital. So radiant and
seductive...Does it ever stop? Does it ever slow
down?...The idea is time. Living in the future….Look at
those numbers running. Money makes time. It used to be
the other way around. Clock time accelerated the rise of
capitalism. People stopped thinking about time and
concentrated on hours. Measureable hours…it’s cyber
capital that created the future...time is a corporate asset
now...the present is harder to find…”
- Cosmopolis, 2012
