Following on from my previous post, I encountered this quote by Guy Debord, published in 1967 (Paris) as a part The Society of the Spectacle.
The fetishism of the commodity — the domination of society by “intangible as well as tangible things” — attains its ultimate fulfillment in the spectacle, where the real world is replaced by a selection of images which are projected above it, yet which at the same time succeed in making themselves regarded as the epitome of reality.
I think that the immediacy created by consumerism, and addressed by Bjarke Ingels' 'Hedonistic Sustainability' is a good case point of making a positive net global change out of a mongrel fetishism, characterised by Guy Debord.
I postulate that by using Paddington Central as a community endorsed platform for food consumption and sustainability practices, future values can positively change. Thus, Paddington Central exists more as guiding light, not necessarily a congruous answer.
