Everyville became a place of conflicting events and ambiguous margins. It was infinitely spatial, but only as present as the surfaces it inhabited. Suddenly any of the anonymous streets of thousands of similar small town communities were contributing projected events of various size and importance to and from each other, overlapping to create one identity more potent than ever before. Moments from the past and present were projected next to those from fabricated worlds of fantasy. Utopia, dystopia, strife, and elation were drawn from the town square and the private home alike flowing freely into each other with adamant disregard for scale, time, and place. - "The businessman suddenly found himself walking through an alleyway into his parents wedding on his way to work; as he watched the final kiss, he could only smile as millions of unprompted attendees clapped and cheered for them while motor car racers sped by in the background."
