Speedism is the duo Julian
Friedauer, Germany, and Pieterjan Ginckels, Belgium. They work in the fields of
architecture, architectural theory, visual arts, visual theory, urban tactics,
imagineering, visual arts and scriptwriting. As visual artists and architects,
and starting from these backgrounds Speedism develops a visual universe,
theoretical landscapes, denkräume, narratives and scenarios. In the work,
Speedism brings together very diverse fields of influence, ranging from
wikipedia, mythology, urban theory, geo- political analysis, technical
restrictions, music, and so on. The result of this input, through a process
best described in the SPEEDISM MANIFEST, is usually a digital image,
started from scratch. Speedism presents the images in lecture-performances, as
prints installed in and scaled for a specific spatial context, or they build a
context around them – a three-dimensional addition to the image.
