wrong direction


Trying to get into the debate about information, displays and whatnot, it seems like alot of people are aiming for a society where the most relevant is the ambient information. Dreams about dynamic signs with correlated data gathered from the local area, then displayed at larger than life billboards. This type of "information display" is just a hidden agenda for commercialization of the cityscape, it all ends up like a Hollywood flick, like in Minority Report, Tom Cruise runs around, bombarded by ads tailored to his place, time and identity, its a real world horror house.

  2. the wrong direction deals with the problematics concerning the way u deal with the informatics, haha, this is about more than just a billboard showing a flickery vision of images and thus making the cityscape into a tv set.
    one can allways take a wrong direction unless you are on a SAFARI, the word itself implies that THE TRAVEL ITSELF and the experience you get is MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE DESTINATION, so, will follow, aint no thang like a chicken wang!
