A documentary video about the B.I.T. Suicide Box—a motion-triggered camera developed by the Bureau of Inverse Technology (a private information agency), and installed within range of the Golden Gate Bridge to capture a video record of anything that falls from the bridge, and provide an accurate measure of the suicide rate. The tape points to confusing roles for technology within contemporary culture.
