Behold! The future is now! Long has humankind dreamed of an age where labor could be performed by automaton. Fields are sowed by the growling colossus of steel oxen. Clothes are sewn by the whirling dervish of Rumbling-Stiltskin. Buildings are erected by hydraulic giraffes, and politicians are elected by algorithmic Gerrymanders. Our bodies are no more than weak lumps of fragile flesh in the face of the automated landscape of our gas-powered industrial robot laborers. Now, utilizing ones body has no more function than button-pressing or leisure. Walking, once the first steps of becoming human, is now delegated to gas-guzzlers and Walmart scooters. Walking is a thing of the past, except for a strange people in a small town on the East Coast that continues the old tradition. Behold the backward land of New York City as Mat, Veronique, and Guest – Gayle Stahlhuth – use our whole bodies to bulldoze through Slow Moving People.
