Bliss's footage of New York includes public art in the Financial District, views from the "Freedom Tower" on the site of the World Trade Center, the sun setting over the Hudson River looking towards New Jersey, and Zuccotti Park (the centre of the Occupy Wall Street protests in 2011). Two channels of texts, written by Bliss and James Duesterberg, appear like a chat conversation but have an unnervingly robotic quality, not quite responding to the preceding message and leaning heavily on stock phrases. The text is drawn from language circulating in popular culture such as Barack Obama's speeches, quotations from the film Wall Street, and reports of Gisele Bündchen's request to be paid in euros due to the weakening dollar.
