dromoscopy

is vision structured or constituted in rapid motion, which is utterly other than when walking or jogging.

This is the first sense in which space, for Virilio, is always a speed-space. The experience of dromoscopy, that is, of vision as structured or constituted in rapid motion, underlines the manner in which the space of vision is dependent upon the more or less rapid motion of the body in relation to its perceived objects. Yet Virilio also maintains that dromoscopy is, in certain respects, a decisively different experience from that of the body which might walk, jog or generally progress more slowly through its natural environment. p.33

is a vision in rapid motion, vision whereby, say, the trees that file past on the screen of the windshield cease to become reality and become only substitutes for reality, apparent movements which are only simulacra.

Dromoscopy is, therefore, paradoxically the wait for the coming of that which abides: the trees that file past on the screen of the windshield [are] all substitutes for reality, these apparent movements are only simulacra’ (Virilio 2005a: 115).

is a phenomena revealing that space is a form of mediation between things as they appear in any field of vision.

At this stage it need be noted only that dromoscopy reveals more clearly and decisively that space, that is, the phenomenal space of sensible appearance, is a speed-space. Speed as relative movement is, as it were, a form of mediation between things as they appear in any field of vision.
