Distributed Dionysia.

摘要

Public space in the American city is in a state of social and spatial indeterminacy. Situated within a sprawling aggregation of suburban back lawns, the redundant green space of the park appears as an absurd deformity in the Mega-Grid. Moreover, the myriad access points for mass media within the modern home facilitate collective experiences and public assertions of identity with unparalleled ease. The urban park, while providing a particular pastoral experience, is no longer the site of our collective life.This project proposes to redirect public and private capital to transform residential parks into alternative venues for collective media-event experiences offering a new scale of communality between the media room and the stadia. Through the deployment of infrastructures to Media-Event Hybrid Infrastructures, the Parks System can act as pastoral and spectacular bait, catalyzing an emergent collectivity by making public the latent spectacle within our domestic leisure activities.
