Technobabble
What the hell does this mean? "Redundancy versus Synergy is the juxtaposition that characterizes the multi-layered city of dawning knowledge-based society. Urbanity presents itself as hypermedial chimera to which new condensations and territories are attached. Accordingly, this discourse and its accompanying installation in transpublic will reflect the latest technological research."
This kind of technobabble is both hilarious and pretentious. And ultimately frustrating, because it obfuscates the dissolved facades of synthetically resuscitated consciousness and medially pervaded surfaces.
