The SMET group is beginning construction of their new rail lines, however the Insectoids have become a liability to their transit expansion plans. The SMET group forms CTON, an anti-insect task force subsidiary. Stage 1 of the CTON initiative is to start misting their newly developed PX-Sprëj, a repellent specially formulated to exterminate the Insectoids.
Using installation, video, painting, and sculpture, Arvid Logan pieces together an alternate world that pulls from the imagery of his childhood. Logan re-imagines the conflicts of living in an increasingly privatized and authoritative city as a war between insects and exterminators.
