A sweatshop: women sit around a table sewing. Through the lone window, we can see a 'code waterfall' effect as seen in the credits of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies. To their left stands a man in a pin-stripe suit, looking at his watch. His body language radiates impatience. His eyes have been replaced by the staring red eyes of HAL9000 from Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' Each woman's head is surmounted by a set of floating Victorian calipers.
