The technology of the video medium is set in relation to a medical description of heartblock. Heartblock, as the narrator clinically describes, occurs when the upper atria beat independently of the lower ventricles. The pace of the video moves from calm to urgent frenzy. The condition becomes a metaphor for the viewer's lack of control and dependence on television.
