Transit by Scott Snibbe: a pause from the hectic daylife in LA airport

Today is the last day dedicated to the theme “Timetables & Scoreboards” and our editorial team selected for you the video “Transit” by the American media artist Scott Snibbe. Transit is a large-scale video installation in the Los Angeles International Airport’s Tom Bradley International Terminal that plays on fifty-eight back-to-back HD monitors curving above the arrivals waiting area.

It is all about a poetical pause in the daily frantic rhythm of the hub. It evokes a parallelism with our hectic lives, always “on duty” and the need to stop sometimes and enjoy life. What did it suggest to you?
