[lbo-talk] One Wilshire

[James Heartfield]

Fantastic photos. these are my photos of the Jested telecommunications Tower and hotel in the Czech Republic, the path to modernism not taken (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=54024&id=756513153&l=4845a67795). I have someothers that I never posted up of the inside of the tower - a kind of Solaris-style wreckage of the future that got built at Wilshire One. Richard Barbrook's book Imaginary Futures (http://www.imaginaryfutures.net/) is quite good on the Czech cybernetics.

(Going off on a tangent, Wilshire Boulevard was developed by the Socialist millionaire Gaylord Wilshire, who published Wilshire's Magazine around the turn of the last century. I have selections of it here, 'Wilshire Editorials', published 1906 - they are quite good).
