Just b/c the app allows "those who participate" to enter a "realm of subjectivity" does not mean it is to be celebrated. If anything, it marks a new level of living virtually- that is to say virtually, or almost living, but not quite. Living vicariously through a piece of technology is not living. Insofar as Situationism exists, you are absolutely mislead in regards to comprehending it- mediation is the comodification of perception. Vaneigem lays this out in Movement of the Free Spirit.
I was almost convinced that this was a parody until the end. Now I see that it is a different type of parody- that of Situationism. If Situationism set as its central task the destruction of life *mediated* by images, then we can see this form of media as the most vile form of recuperation. Adventure does not require wifi accessibility, nor bourgeois technological gadgetry.
@MANFATHERS certainly network accessibility or digital devices are not required for adventure, the project allows multiple ways to enter into a realm of subjectivity that includes those who participate. all content is available for re-use and reappropriation as well as begin available in analogue forms. In fact I disagree that Situationism's central goal was the destruction of life 'mediated' by images, rather I think they were concerned with the comodification of that mediation.
