Introduction :
The video work "PROMENADE" is a metaphor for the accelerating human society, which, as depicted here, begins at 100%, or Normal, speed. It accelerates gradually to a speed 128,000% of Normal. In the 128,000% segment, the performance consists of walking just 100 metres, but takes three hours. The work is a challenge to an Un-functional or Meaningless Thing. Furthermore, it addresses the notion of non-function, or "without meaning" in this case; I pose a question to the increasing modern consumerism that results from the utopian yearnings sought after by humans.
