Reflections on the individual and community flash in this urban web of buildings, technology and news bits, where the city looms and the inhabitants submit. Bits and pieces of Abu Ghraib, the Iraq war and 9/11 will be recognized, along with 24/7 newscasters and U.S. political figures welded together as one gigantic talking head.
