FWD: Reverse Imagineering

"Reverse Imagineering:
Toward the New Urban Struggles,
Or: Why Smash the State When Your Neighborhood Theme
Park Is So Much Closer?"
Brian Holmes

"What are the steps in the creation of a Disney
attraction? According to literature sent out by WDW
[Walt Disney World], the steps are: storyboard,
script, concept, show models, sculpture, show set
design, graphics, interiors, architectural design,
molds and casting, wardrobe and figure finishing,
electronic and mechanical design and manufacture, show
sets and prop construction, animation, audio, special
effects and lighting, and engineering." [The
Unofficial Walt Disney Imagineering Page
(www.imagineering.org).]

On October 17, 2003, seven groups of some 20 to 30
persons descended into the Paris underground, with
paint pots, glue, rollers, brushes, spray cans, sheets
of paper and marking pens in their hands. Their aim?
To overwrite, cover up, deface, subvert, recompose or
simply rip to shreds as many advertisements as
possible, without violence to any individual or to any
piece of property other than the images which impinge
on our most intimate desires.
