Black and white media images flash across the screen at break-‐neck speed to a hypnotic soundtrack. The urban narrative that results is slick, modernist, and without flaw. It demands our submission.

With its hammering pace and seamless composition, there is no place for intervention or insertion of alternative pictures. To elbow our way into the storyline would entail a brawl.
