Sixth section: the Zeitgeist - the recent past

This section shows everyday life on Market Street in the present or recent past. Traffic is now composed of mostly private cars, trucks and diesel buses. Alternatives such as bicycling and electric buses need to fight for space. Beyond the street, people are using the public space in a variety of ways: for work and shopping related errands, or as gathering and dwelling territory (the homeless,) but also as a locus for self expression and political expression (from graffiti to political postering, to culture-jamming such as billboard alteration, to street theater such as Reverend Billy's...) The deserted dot-com offices, the "Globalisation" and the "Workathon" trucks hint at the separate struggles affecting each class living in this time and place.
