LOOKING FOR PLEASURE
The universal leisure is to re-invent its own life day after day looking for happiness. This vital function of life evolves according to changes induced by the new information and intercommunication technologies. Ecstacity can be defined as a real experience that wants to dissolve the frontiers between real world and virtual world creating an urban development based on the five senses and on the pursuit of pleasure.

TRANSMITTERS OF SENSORIAL GEOGRAPHIES
2050. Computers have disappeared giving way to Ecstacities, intelligent interfaces between man and his environment. Ecstacities are electromagnetic capsules to ingest and that are dissolved inside the nervous system near the hypothalamus, the centre of emotions, pleasure, pain, sexual and love urges. Complementary to this sense receptor, Ecstacities make it possible not only to collect information expressed by our environment but also to spatialize our feelings in real time under the form of sense geographies, new holographic territories of bodily growth.

“OCTOPUS” AERIALS AND INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE
Thanks to the Ecstacity capsule, the nerve impulse transmitted to the brain by our sense organs creates a magnetic wave (identical to the mobiles’ one) which is captured by an “octopus” aerial which contains an electronic brain able to produce holographic spaces. This electronic brain is the future laboratory of DJ architects who study the city as an evolutionary human being, the sample one and the mixed one. A software has been developed so that everyone can define the parameters of its own sensitive landscape according to the five sense organs.

SIXTH SENSE
Thanks to the haptical sense, Ecstacities intensify human life through new sensitive landscapes in which our holographic bodies are moving.
On the one hand the haptical sense makes it possible to understand this sensorial spaces’ three-dimensional geometry and to use them by defining the parameters of their surface, dimension, weightlessness but also their taste, touch, perfumes, tones and visions. On the other hand it tells us about the position of the different body parts and of forces displayed by muscles to maintain this position. The haptical sense will be our sixth sense employed by the new holographic reality.

NOMADIC EXTRA-CORPORIAL MUTANT
We are going to know a space revolution ! Indeed basic researchers are able to stabilize light from 300km/sec to 0,1 km/sec thanks to the creation of electromagnetic fields. Thanks to this process, our sensorial geographies will be holographically cast (stable light) and will mix to any urban, rural, terrestrial or extra-terrestrial landscape.
As nomadic extra-corporial mutants we will be able to fly through new and not always physical territories, to mix and to sample them for ever and ever. We can be one or several at the same time in one place of everywhere. Ideal leisure of human life that refuses simple geographies and agrees complexity not as disorder but as sublime order. Let’s develop ourselves physically and mentally in this evolutionary world which is constantly reprogrammed.
