Joel Garreau channels Baudrillard in his observations of Disney’s Innoventions Dream Home. Disneyland’s representation of the future is so mild and reassuring that the fantasy of tomorrow melts into a hyperreality of today: the future has already begun.
That disturbing but dazzling future rumbling our way is distinctly different from the soothing one Disney thinks we crave. What does this disconnect say about us?
