A pile of computarized office workers separated by floors in the
Second Empire State, are being asked by someone on the phone for their locations within the building. From bottom to top the majority of people that answered the phone sounded hesitant when revealing the information requested however they all revelead their location within the building.
I didn't feel terribly impressed by this work. I think the fact that it was an audio and not a visual piece got me a bit lost. I am perhaps not very good having to imagine something from scratch or maybe I have not gave this piece enough thought and/or appreciation. Either way I still not overly impressed.
In this piece I found connotations related to the 11th September 2001 terrorist attack. Why have the artist done this piece? What does she want to represent with it? A scared societity that does what everybody does, nobody stands for nothing anymore? Why any of the workers has questioned this lady on the phone? Does it reflect the "nobody cares" society that we live in?...
