This video examines the iconic World Wide Web branding of global marketplace, which creates disconnection and contrasts to the labor system in society. Three Chinese construction workers deconstruct an old house while the Internet brand names scroll across the screen. The viewer is asked to place their knowledge of the Internet and the globalization placed against one’s perception of the lived experience of the manual laborers.
