An essential characteristic of our Western industrialized culture is mobility—or rather, total mobilization, the seemingly complete control over space and time. In 24 h or less, we—or the financially privileged in today’s society, the kinetic avant-garde—can fly to almost any place in the world, and young Interrailers can get to know three European train stations in the same period of time. At the push of a button, we have live access to the images that are made accessible to us at home and can be switched on and off at will or swiped away on the smartphone. Two achievements are responsible for this globalisation of culture and communication: international tourism, and the expansion of the media and culture industry, which, in conjunction with new technologies like the Internet, has created a globally available image market at any time.
