- Description
- The Fort project explores the way in which fear and intimidation are deployed in times of war to exaggerate and distort perception. Using the remains of the historic Fort, the project proposes a new apparatus more suitable to the practices of modern warfare. The project recognises three components - a statesman, a framed context and the media - as being essential to modern techniques of intimidation and persuasion. Following from the theories of Paul Virilio, within modern culture these three have replaced the physical defenses offered by architectural fortifications, rendering the traditional fort obsolete.
