Speedism is the duo Julian Friedauer, Germany, and Pieterjan Ginckels, Belgium.
Speedism works at the borders of such fields as architecture, architectural theory, visual arts, visual theory, urban tactics, imagineering, and scriptwriting. As visual artists and architects, and starting from these backgrounds, Speedism develops visual universes, theoretical landscapes, denkräume, narratives and scenarios. Speedism uses different forms of input, ranging from Wikipedia, mythology, urban theory, geopolitical analysis, technical restrictions, music, and so on, in a random and non-hierarchical order. They are often mixed into images in the chronological order they are collected, with no pre-set planning, creating a result that is never an ending point but always gives rise to a new point of departure.
Speedism keeps on drawing, fine-tuning, exchanging, going from the one to the other association. Step by step, starting from scratch and growing from pixel to pixel so to speak, they create digital images that can be read as visual scenarios, narrative story boards or imagined fictions, following no other strategy than the process itself. Or in other words: rather than a pre-conceived basis for the image, the narrative is the actual outcome of the image compilation. Speedism presents these 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.
