Spectacles and Imagination
Spectacle in the USofA
We are being genetically modified — slow-cooked by the corporate media — into Event Hunger. The museums don't just have exhibitions for the interested, they have must-see spectacles for the masses. Anticipation manufacturing.
Everybody is doing it — and FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)
Don't want to be left out and be lost for words over coctails.
Gotta share it on all the various social media!
Proclaim: We were there! And we took selfies!
(Spectacle was popular in Rome in its final days as well.)
