If space-junk is the human debris that litters the universe, Junk-Space is the residue mankind leaves on the planet.
The built (more about that later) product of modernization is not modern architecture but Junkspace.
Junkspace is what remains after modernization has run its course, or, more precisely, what coagulates while modernization is in progress, its fallout. Modernization had a rational program: to share the blessings of science, universally. Junkspace is its apotheosis, or meltdown.
Junkspace is sealed, held together not by sturcture but by skin, like a bubble.
.., conditioned space inevitably becomes conditional space;..
Junkspace is Bermuda Triangle of concept,
More and more, more is more
Junkspace is like being condemned to a perpetual Jacuzzi with millions of your best friends...
Junkspace cannot be remembered. It is flamboyant yet unmemorable, like a screen saver;..
Junkspace thrives on design, but design dies in Junkspace. There is no form, only proliferation...
Architects thought of Junkspace first and named it Mega-structure, the final solution to transcend their huge impasse. Like multiple Babels, huge supersturctures would last through eternity, teeming with impermanent subsystems that would mutate over time, beyond their control.
Instead of development, it offers entropy.
..., Junkspace is fanatically maintained, the night shift undoing the damage of the day shift in an endless Sisyphean replay, As you recover from Junkspace, Junkspace recovers from you: between 2 and 5 A.M., yet another population, this on heartlessly casual and appreciably darker, is mopping, hovering, sweeping, toweling, resupplying...Junkspace does not inspire loyalty in its cleaners...
Junkspace can either be absolutely chaotic or frighteningly aseptic-like a best-seller-overdetermined and indeterminate at the same time.
Junkspace is a web without a spider;..
Junkspaceknows all your emontions, all your desires. It is the interior of Big Brother's belly.
Junkspace turns into biojunk; ecology turns into ecospace. Ecology and economy have bonded in Junkspace as ecolomy.
Mankind is always going on about architecture. What if space started looking at mankind? Will Junkspace invade the body? Through the vibes of the cell phone? Has it already? Through Botox injections? Collagen? Silicone implants? Liposuction? Penis enlargements? Does gene therapy announce a total reengineering according to Junkspace? Is each of us a mini-construction site? Is mankind the sum of three to five billion individual upgrades? Is it a repertoire of reconfiguration that facilitates the intromission of a new species into its self-made Junksphere? The cosmetic is the new cosmic...
