I realized that we’re going into space, so we’ve got this different type of consciousness, which is the virtual world’s consciousness, where there’s no up or down, there’s no gravity, there’s no anything…That means that everything—machines, architecture, all object forms, become subjects as well, because they’re now free from their functionality.173

Space Painting 4

In At Home in Space, the theme is objects that you would have in the home, but when you’re out in space, they’re all exploded and blown apart and floating. There’s no up or down or anything, because all of these objects are freed from the post-and-lintel constraints of architecture. So, again, it’s a liberation and a recombination, deconstruction, reconstruction, or decontextualization, loosening them from their intended purposes…it creates a whole other place.174

Space Rug

That goes back to the origination of net culture and computer culture, which flattens everything, because they’re all equal…in other words, the President of the United States is equal to a punk hacker on the web. All words have equal weight; there’s no such thing as media hegemony. By the same token, architecture loses its authority in a certain sense.175
