Winnipeg to Vegas

Travelling from Winnipeg to Los Vegas was like a teleportation session. Backing up Rosler's theory of the design of an airport currently being like an engineer's commission, the Winnipeg airport isn't that amazing. It looks like a mall, and even in its small size, I could still get lost. After passing successfull through customs, I travelled from and interior, to an interior; and once in Vegas, again to another interior. Finally, after departing the airport, I found myself in the exterior Los Vegas environment. I missed out on everything the in-between-landscape had to offer. That, however, is air travel. Why should it be anything more? If I wanted to "experience" the in between of point A to point B, I would have driven to Vegas. I do agree with Rosler, however that airports could very well serve as more than just a terminal, " [that] cast you inward to the psychological space of desire".
