Junkspace = Junk Food for Mind

_i guess junkspace is like junk food. it's not necessarily good for physical health, but one needs it to maintain a good mental health when necessary. and if we are what we eat, then we are all somehow junk-ed in some sense.
_out of the whole passage, i must say not all that I agree - but below are some bits that i found interesting...and i kind of enjoy the sarcasm within.

"Junkspace" by Rem Koolhaas

"Continuity is the essence of Junkspace; it exploits any invention that enables expansion, deploys the infrastructure of seamlessness. It promotes disorientation by any means."

"When we think about space, we have only looked at its containers. As if space itself is invisible, all theory for the production of space is based on an obsessive preoccupation with its opposite: substance and objects, i.e., architecture."

"Brands in Junkspace perform the same role as black holes in the universe."

"Regurgitation is the new creativity; instead of creation, we honor, cherish and embrace manipulation... Superstrings of graphics, transplanted emblems of franchise and sparkling infrastructures of light, LED’s, and video describe an authorless world beyond anyone’s claim, always unique, utterly unpredictable, yet intensely familiar."

"Junkspace is post-existential; it makes you uncertain where you are, obscures where you go, undoes where you were."

"Junkspace knows all your emotions, all your desires."

"Junkspace heals."

"In the third Millenium, Junkspace will assume responsibility for both pleasure and religion, exposure and intimacy, public life and privacy."

"The office is the next frontier of Junkspace. Now that you can work at home, the office aspires to the domestic; because you still need a life, it simulates the city. Junkspace features the office as the urban home, a meeting-boudoir."

"The global spread of Junkspace represents a final Manifest Destiny: the World as public space..."

"Conceptually, each monitor, each TV screen is a substitute for a window; real life is inside, cyberspace has become the great outdoors..." [i like this.]

[this always sounds cool.] AMO will collect forces from media, finance, technology and art to consult in the architectural thinking where strategy and concept have a higher importance than realisation.
