When satellites and electric information went around the planet, they created a man-made environment…which ended the planet as a human habitat and turned it into the content of the man-made environment. The same thing will happen to the planet that’s happened to every other environment when it became the content of a new environment. It will become an art form. The future of the planet is camp, an old nose cone.
