INTERFERENCES #6 | Vito Acconci. Public space, in an electronic age, is space on the run. Public space is not space in the city but the city itself. Not nodes but circulation routes; not buildings and plazas, but roads and bridges. Public space is leaving home, and giving up all the comforts of the cluster-places that substitutes for the home. Space on the run is life on the loose. Theres no time to talk; theres no need for talk, since you have all the information you need on the radio you carry with you. Theres no need for a person-to-person relationship, since you already have multiple relationships with voices on your radio, with images of persons in store windows and on billboards. |
