“Does time itself run backwards nowadays? Did someone remove its forward gear and force it to drive around in circles? History seems to have morphed into a loop.”

The history of mankind can be viewed as the history of a race against time, a history of the growth of speeds that go beyond the biological capabilities of a person. According to Virillo, the forces of technoscience are accelerating the world to such an extent that things around us and even reality itself begin to disappear. And therefore, it is not surprising that in the conditions of such an intense phase of space-time compression and a corresponding change in our understanding of time, many sociologists proclaim the onset of a new social order. In other words, using technological anesthesia, modern “everyday time” plunges society into the “pit of oblivion” and endless repetition. Time is something that does not exist without change, and that without which change cannot be recognized. Time is the many possible outcomes in the future and the many rolls of the dice that lead to the present. Time is inseparable from matter. It has become a currency convertible into labor and bought by the employer. At the same time, modernity is characterized by living in a plurality of temporalities at the same time. The present lures a person into the field of parallel implementation of many things, but the brain, not being able to do this, only very quickly switches between tasks, becoming like a computer. Sleep as freezing turns out to be a reaction to conditions impossible for a human being. The electricsleep is a center of attraction, a reflexive element that defines its own boundaries, due to which some already given whole is visible. Rotating pendulums are recursive elements, the property of which is to violate boundaries, intrude into the internal dynamics of processes in order to produce a new whole with their help. Sound encloses space in a loop, condemning it to endless roundabout.
