We are a people disconnected from one another on most emotional levels and yet simultaneously irrevocably linked together in the chain reactions of everyday life. For example, during Superbowl halftime, there was a significant drop in the water pressure of the United States.


When the train pulls into the station, the subway conductor is trained to open the window and point to a long, black and white striped panel that hangs over the platform. The purpose of this little ceremony is to remind themselves which side they are supposed to open the doors on. The MTA hopes this will cut out the few times each year that a conductor opens the door on the wrong side, causing people to step out into the abyss.


...The Abyss, The Abyss, The Abyss...
