What is interesting about the PAM graffiti drama in Melbourne is the way the work disturbs the corporate aesthetic. The sheer arrogance of these buildings and landmarks should be the real debate. Why are these aesthetics so against collaboration? Why does the Novotel building have to be so eternal and untouchable?
Why are these landmarks so God like and set in stone? Can’t someone have some fun in the corporate matrix? Obviously not, too much fun means jail time. I am no fan of PAM’s work but I get it, people need access and agency over the world they inhabit. A world dominated by people who love populating spreadsheets with numbers.

Wars and bizarre (((climate change))) events seem to be the harbingers for the construction of open-air prison-cities full of these souless eyesore tributes to wealth concentration and power. Kiev—La Haina—Los Angeles—Gaza. Are we seeing a pattern here or is it just coincedence?.
