Max Almy
Perfect Leader
1983, 00:04:17, NTSC, Farbe
This video posses as a computer program searching for the ultimate leader figure. It first presents the prototype man and dresses him in different salesman suites. His personality is adjusted, adding charisma, to make him more dominating and convincing as a spokesman. With too much charisma, he turns into a dictator-type figure, but morality is then added to make him more popular. Each version of the leader is collaged with colourful synthesized images and animations representing money, power, salesmanship and military symbolism. With a theme song and a driving beat, this short piece acts like a politically commentating music video. (lg)
