Walt Disney, Epcot, and the Cybernetic Other Time
Walt Disney is characterized as a technocratic culture engineer who used the World's Fair tradition to create a "cyber-chronicized other time." Unlike J.R.R. Tolkien’s view of fairy tales as a door to "other time" for wonder, Disney’s parks and media spheres act as a "mining operation" that entrains the audience in a virtual ancestral memory. This immersive environment creates hybrid beings who live 24/7 within a corporate media sphere, effectively rerouting human traffic to "Goblin Markets."
