Erik Gandini<\/a> is, inter alia<\/em>, a filmmaker. You may remember him from such films as The Boatjacking of Supership 79<\/em>, Hydro, the Man With the Hydraulic Arms!<\/em> and Surplus: terrorized into being consumers<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Erik has a new film: Videocracy<\/a><\/em>. The subject of the film is billionaire Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi (1936–), popularly known as ‘The Corrupt Knight’<\/a>, a man as clever and talented as he is rich.<\/p>\n

In 2009, “In a videocracy the key to power is the image”, apparently.<\/p>\n

In 1967<\/a>, a cheese-eating surrender monkey named Guy Debord wrote that “The spectacle is not a collection of images; it is a social relation between people that is mediated by images”.<\/p>\n

Smash the Magnavox!<\/h2>\n
