Elige a alguien al azar y convéncele de ser el heredero de una inmensa, inútil y asombrosa fortuna -digamos 5000 hectáreas de Antártida, o un viejo elefante de circo, o un orfanato en Bombay, o una colección de manuscritos alquímicos-. Al final terminará por darse cuenta de que por unos momentos ha creído en algo extraordinario, y se verá quizás conducido a buscar como resultado una forma más intensa de existencia.

Allana moradas; pero en vez de robar, deja objetos poético-terroristas. Secuestra a alguien y hazle feliz.

Roomology

Drinking whiskey laced with vodka can not not produce drunkenness: a room first entered evokes in you an immediate involuntary mental sensation. The human mind senses environments by instinct, scans and evaluates them for properties like ambience, lines of sight and darkness. The horror genre, invented by the partisan architect Horace Walpole, thrived on the discovery that rooms can scare you to death. The grassroots study to this little understood effects of space on mind that transpires through everything humans undertake, as after all you are always somewhere, is called psychogeography.

Psychogeodynamic objects are defined as those blurry-edged entities from which strong psychogeographic ‘rays’ emanate. The history of landscape representation is one overflowing with anecdotes about the psychogeodynamic demanding its reproduction by the overwhelmed artist or snapshoteer. Roomology, the subdomain of psychogeography that studies rooms as psychogeodynamic objects, can retrace a similar but more covert tradition of artistic studies and observations about the ways rooms and minds work together.

Our central idea is that of the construction of situations, that is to say, the concrete construction of momentary ambiences of life and their transformation into a superior passional quality. We must develop a methodical intervention based on the complex factors of two components in perpetual interaction, the material environment of life and the comportments which it gives rise to and which radically transform it.
