I agree with the Michael Rakowitz paraSITE to repair the society on our prejudice and our ignorance on the homeless people. He made the plastic shelter on the budget of $5 using trash bags, Ziploc bags and clear waterproof packing tape. He also made windows on the shelters as he said, "homeless people don’t have privacy issues, but they do have security issues". Also, these shelter can be attached to the exterior vents of the heating system, air-conditioning system so that the shelter can be inflated by the system as well as provide the warmth in the shelter. I feel that what Rakowitz did is innovative and is a huge help for those homeless people that we saw sleeping on the streets, parks, train station shivering and looking helpless. Through his shelter, they only need to attach it to the ventilation which does not cost money at all. Instead, it helps the homeless to get shelter very cheaply and is clean. The public shelters we have are very overcrowded and unhygienic. I feel that Micheal Rakowitz parasite made a very innovative shelter that would be a tremendous help for the homeless people. It also gives the message to the government about the unhealthy conditions of the shelters that he has to create a shelter on his own.
Good job. Feel free to speak in your own words. What does Rackowitz's solution for living suggest about how we might all change our lifestyles? Would you consider living in one of these paraSITE's?
