"The richest ideas are left in the dustbin of history; the more discredited on the platform of good taste, the more innovative on the platform of content."
Rem Koolhaas, c. 1991
"If space-junk is the human debris that litters the universe Junk-Space is the residue mankind leaves on the planet… It replaces hierarchy with accumulation, composition with addition. More and more, more is more… Instead of development, it offers entropy… Traffic is Junkspace, from airspace to the subway; the entire highway system is Junkspace, a vast potential utopia clogged by its users… Fascism minus dictator… Junkspace will be our tomb. Half of mankind pollutes to produce, the other half pollutes to consume… Junkspace is political: It depends on the central removal of the critical faculty in the name of comfort and pleasure… Will Junkspace invade the body?… The cosmetic is the new cosmic…"
Rem Koolhaas, “Junkspace,” from Content, 2002-4
