Weatherhaven, for example, is a curious company co-founded by an odd couple: an expedition organizing team and a construction company that, together, provide ” temporary shelter in remote places … a complete service including design, manufacture, packaging, transportation, and erection of buildings, all of which [are] created specifically to respond to the logistical problems of remote deployment in harsh environments.”
What we are talking here goes beyond a simple camp-out, festival or ordinary tent city – forethought, planning organization on the scale of the fully-gridded Burning Man (a there-then-gone temporary annual city that rises for a week in the Nevada desert, starting again very shortly), but more even than that, which is tied to just one place each year. This is a fly-in-and-drop-off operation in which residents can move in immediately and have a fully-functioning town (water, houses, hospitals) up and running in days.
And then, in the end, they can be packed up, moved or removed from the face of the planet entirely, leaving no real trace behind – no physical signs of their history or even existence. This is the ultimate commodification of the the cosmopolitan experience – whole urban centers that are easily created and as disposable as any other manufactured product of modern times.
Hirtelen egy gondolat: csak jönnek meg mennek, s nem hagynak nyomot. Szerintem azért ezt is meg kell kicsit vizsgálni! Mondjuk egy sziget fesztivál nem hagy nyomot maga után a környezetben, természetben, .... ? A burning man után is tuti megváltozik kicsit a sivatag azon része, csak mivel sivatag, ezért nem olyan látványos! Illetve a "gyökértelen", nem helyi emberek mindig kicsit igénytelenebbek, kevésbé vigyáznak a környezetükre. Akár egy túrista, akár egy erasmus diák, ..... Remélem érted mire gondolok?!
