abstract
Today we live most of our time with the head in one place and the
body in another, a dichotomy between interior and exterior, home
and office, private domain and urban/social/cultural domain. Living
and working in a specific place as a continuum legacy is an atypical
case from an occasional perspective, where everything looks
further and further like gypsies lives, looking incessantly for new
territories in a vast domain, even if this domain is intrinsically
associated to immobility. Also the digital attachments or
extensions of our body synthesized in images, circuits, bits and
sounds, construct this technological demography of fast-fast (fastlove,
fast-food, fast-security, fast-web, fast-services, fasttransport,
fast-family ... ). For more intense remedial products and
remedial services we deliver, asking for the slow, more proposed
forms of products/services will emerge in this negative cycle,
increasing the fissure between the idea of sustainability and the
pretensions of being well. The intangible productslservices and the
miniaturization applied in production did not diminish the overall
consumption, plus the script affected to products for every
individual customization, augmented the volume for this inertia
corrective products.
