"The free space of the commodity presents a story of consumption and exclusion as information overload in the organism of advanced consumer capitalism. Against a backdrop of a day of Headline News (compressed into 60 seconds) the narrative is visually fragmented — an encoded montage portraying the bourgeois protagonist's consumption habits while he speaks in Morse Code about his predicament. Meanwhile the invisible and virtually inauidible antagonist is denied access removed from the freeway and arrested."
