Synopsis:
»Hello, Hello, Helloooo you unlimited you-yous! Selfieselfyou, show you, explain you, define
you, bring you, corporate you, bring the bring bring you!«
A glitzy emcee in silver suit conjures up the absent audience including us viewers almost
like a neoliberal wizard version of „Uncle Sam“ by invoking a kind of mystical self realization
business mantra in a dimensionless and hazy space bathed in iridescent candy-colored light.
Keywords and formulas seem to be pasted together from recent worldwide advertising
campaigns of global player companies, partly overlapping with the bio-darwinist jargon and
ideology of the latest kind of disruptive management coaching phrases. They appear to be
randomly lined up as if by a seemingly somewhat confused A.I. that wants to get us to join in,
if only »Becaaaauuuuse, weee lovy lovy LOVE youuuuuu!!« A chorus from the off expresses
increasing doubts about the preached calls and love testimonies.
