«Parkway» est une exploration virtuelle des non-lieux d'infrastructure qui caractérisent les centres urbains nord-américains - les autoroutes urbaines, ferroviaires et hydroélectriques ainsi que les zones artérielles de transition conçues pour le flux de biens, de communications, d'énergie et de main-d'œuvre. Ces régions sont rarement envisagées directement; Plutôt, ils sont observés en passant, des chemins sur le trajet quotidien. Dans de nombreux cas, de telles zones ont néanmoins des noms qui rappellent un passé bucolique qui a été largement éradiqué par la logistique de la vie urbaine. «Parkway» encourage une réévaluation visuelle et sonore de ces espaces, une reconnaissance des complexités sensorielles et historiques qui y sont associées.
