In "SONE S/S 2014: Chase ATM emitting blue smoke, Bank of America ATM emitting red smoke, TD Bank ATM emitting green smoke /// Invisibility-cloaked hand gestures in offshore financial center jungle", both parts deal with transparency and opacity in relation to finance and multimedia software. The ATMs emitting branded smoke could suggest either an incorporated terrorist act or a sign of distress. The hand gestures evoke Adam Smith's concept of the invisible hand of the market, but bring it back down to earth by locating its operations and breakdowns in an offshore financial center. This video circulates on both the art/film circuit and the stock media market through sites such as Getty Images.
