Abstract
Originally developed as an architectural project, New World Entertainment investigates critical issues in our contemporary society with an emphasis on information technology, mass media, visual-dominant leisure and entertainment culture, along with their social impact. Recomposed into a 3-chapter photo-essay, the narrative consists of a proposed hyperbolic superstructure, critical theories behind its genesis, and hypotheses.
[Proposal]
NWE is an immersive space, a vision of the future.
Screens will render any environment of your desire.
[Genealogy]
NWE is a cultural critique in the form of a hyperbolic satire.
Technology begins to augment sensorium and reality.
[Memoranda]
NWE is the manifestation of infinite pleasure in homogeneity.
Enjoy the colonization of techno-leisure.
