Situationist Times

'The society of spectacle', Situationism, Unitary Urbanism and Psychogeography

The Society of Spectacle was written by Guy Debord in 1967, during western revolutionary times. It stands as a cutting-edge criticism to Marx's theory.

How do we change our perception towards time, work and living?
Promoting the creation of Situations, providing new possibilities (literally ways-out) from the paths designed by consumerism.

"In the society dominated by modern conditions of production life is presented as an immense accumulation of spectacles", which occupy our time, while making our free-time part of the consumerism engine. Reality has become image obsessed, ephemeral constructions are preferred by real experiences, increasingly addicted by commodity feticism. Capitalism has also redefined what survival means at a higher level; introducing the idea of an Augmented Survival, where the common sense of needs are disrupt and subvert. .

Ordinary Hypertext Structure

"Hypertext will not be "another type" of obscure structure, but a framework of reunification", to bring literature, science, art and civilization to new heights of understanding, in which everyone's contribution is thought to be valued. We can see the Hypertext Structure as a Pattern Language
