Tony Oursler created video projections that merged human eyes, mouths, and faces with a variety of landscape, satellite, and symbolic graphics and images. He animated the heads and mouths to occasionally come alive and talk to people moving through the arcade space. The videos featured local actors and actresses reading own poetic lines that Oursler wrote.​
