Shifting between spectacle and the commodified experience; the immersive to the banal, Splendour in the Grass feels like a highly controlled temporal 'city' that creates the illusion of anarchic freedom for it's inhabitants &/or target market.

I wonder what the role of art is in this context....

enhancing an experience?

shifting perceptions?

asking questions?
