THE FINE CITY. The footage is shot from the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. By post production modification the city scape is turned into a circle of streets that devour each other.

The MTA Project


MTA, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is providing an transportation system for metropolitan areas, e.g. New York City, Toronto, Milan, Italy etc..

The public transportation system, the MTA provides, is what may be compared to the human body system of arteries and vents. Without the public transportation system the big cities lymphatic, nervous and blood systems would have a severe brack-down. Nobody would be able to reach a place outside of their quarter. Nobody would be able to enter the metropolitan center, where the vital economic systems are beating, connected to the other economic systems of the megacities around the world, which might compared to meaning of the heart of a human body.

In contemporary times public transportation system has been copied by informational systems, e.g. the web. The web 3.0 or the metaverse as the latest version of our communication system has become as vital as the public transportation system of the big cities, which is bringing people from place A to place B in a few minutes, here condensed to milliseconds.

Metaverse is served by internet capabilities, accessible to anyone who want to be at the virtual place which is called Metaverse. Without this accessibility the Metaverse is dead and the individual that is trying to get access, is left behind, as a passenger waiting for his next train to another place on the platform of a public transportation system in a megacity in despair.

So this project is dedicated to the physical and the metaphysical transportation opportunities of the 21st century with all its uncertainties both online and offline.

And there is more to come because the system of metropolitan transportation might compared to the pilgrimage of our lifetime. We are condemned to walk from one point to another and than again to another, which we believe, is our final goal, which reveals itself as a temporary one during our lifetime. So entering one train to a specific destination in order to catch another train to a second destination and then a third one, a fourth one, might be deceive. The second or third train station, from which we thought it would be our final destination, reveal itself to be a temporary stop and we are forced to enter another train to another goal, we hope it would be the final.

Taking this thought further, the MTA is nothing else then what represented mazes in old cathedrals to human beings, the symbol of eternal pilgrimage.
