Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
AUDC's first book captures three moments in modern culture that offer glimpses into our increasingly perverse relationship to architecture, cities, and objects. "Ether" explores the Los Angeles telecom hotel, One Wilshire; a 39 story building of utter banality and complete mystery. "The Stimulus Progression" examines the strange story of the Muzak Corporation and the invention of a culture of horizontality. "Quartzsite, Arizona" visits a desert town of 3,000 people that swells to over 1 million residents every summer when modern nomads in Recreational Vehicles descend upon in it in hordes. This book is a lively mix of philosophy, photography, architectural drawings and models, and new media.
