BUSINESS CLASS is a twelve hours inter-media installation set in public space.
The work is an investigation on contemporary issues in the fields of science, the environment, technology, art and design. The project depicts a group of contemporary leading thinkers hanging out inside a futuristic aluminum air stream carefully installed in the heart of Toronto's financial district, while a crowd of business people are busted in a line up outside waiting to have their luggage searched by agents. Three large scale video projections on walls around the parking lot, show close up details of the business contents which include pharma and guns. The installation is time based and highly visual giving the audience a chance to be included in the spirit of the work.
