A digital animation of a Victorian stereoscopic photograph of a 19th-century factory floor, crowded with machinery and child workers. Filmmaker Ken Jacobs isolates the faces of individuals and details of the image, as if searching out the human and the particular within this mechanized field of mass production. Space appears to fold in on itself as Jacobs activates the stereograph; the agitated image flickers and stutters, but the motion never, in fact, progresses.
