We follow the man who once sold the art of the overworked artists. Traditionally, he was known as the middle man, i.e., the auctioneer, art broker, and salesman; now, as society attempts to remove him, he weasels himself into multiple platforms. As technology develops, how artists sell their art must too. Many attempts are made to remove any barrier between the artist and consumer; however, any attempt to remove the middle man will be unsuccessful.

The middle man is no more the physical being that provides the direct connection but has manifested himself to be a subconscious connection that can never be removed.

Rather than removing the middle man, the building embraces him. Similar to a stop motion film - the louvers act as frames encapsulating a moment of space, creating a fragment of the subtle connection the building forms between artists and consumers. As occupants walk past the louvers, it creates a visual perception called the moiré effect - this occurs when a set of lines are developed next to another set of lines subtly dividing and connecting the elements. These moments created by the louvers, subconsciously continue to divide and connect the artist and consumer just like how the middle man used to.

the occupants the artist has become distant from the art, hours of perfecting is casually passed to a stranger promising grand rewards but in actuality just needs enough to pay from last month’s rent. what was once treasured now lays at the clearance section of a t.j. maxx. the middle man although despised for increasing costs, is the key element in the development of greater artist/consumer relationships. 16
