"ShaMBuF [Sharing Marring Bubble Flaring]" by Pedro & Juana
Paper.
Peer to peer technologies have made sharing available to a community of unrelated individuals. The sharing movement has made you and your belongings available to share for the purpose of experiencing community. Inhabitation has become a trading endeavor, a marketed ideal. To meet someone who has similar dreams and goals, please fill out the form at hand. Data interactions will match correlations of taste and take you right to the action, exactly where you belong, to a community that shares your thoughts and ambitions with their complementary possessions. The city becomes a cluster of groups, a bubble condition of people that are evermore alike.
ShaMBuF [Sharing Marring Bubble Flaring] is a representation, or better yet an abstraction, of an economy; a sharing economy; a manifesto accompanying a sharing economy; an example of the latter. To reveal its mechanisms, the inner workings and the tools inherent to our profession. A form, a diagram, a manifestation! A drawing and a model, a frozen moment of a work in progress. Together, they become a procedure, a dialogue, and ultimately an action that operates upon the spectator. A masquerade, a sham of sorts, an honest truth disguised that mars an object, a form, a city.
