În aceasta prelegere captivantă din arhiva TED, caricaturistul Ben Katchor citeşte din benzile sale desenate. Aceste povestiri perceptive suprarealiste evidenţiaza speranţele profunde si slăbiciunile istoriei (si ale New York-ului modern) conservate în obiecte precum întrerupătoare sau indicatoare.
