In the Petronas Tower Jump video, the skybridge, which, in reality, connects
the two buildings, was separated. This skybridge was built to accommodate
the masses of people that need to move between the two towers frequently
as part of the same corporation, it is efficient because workers do not
have to descend one tower fully in order to have access to the second tower.
By disrupting the flow of people, the working environment becomes less
efficient, and people are forced to take time to go about their respective
destinations. The physical action of the person highlights this separation,
as well as the huge risk required by the individual in order to maintain
the designed function of the bridge. The player in the Petronas towers
assumes a dangerous risk in order to maintain utmost efficiency by jumping
the gap at the 41st story of the building, and furthermore, tempts accident
by repeatedly doing so.
