le grand debate, le grand question, le grand video. Powerpoint solves the meaning of life, via Eurotrash-accented art.
I live for this shit.
A Film by Clemens Kogler together with Karo Szmit. Voice by Andre Tschinder.
Le Grand Content examines the omnipresent Powerpoint-culture in search for its philosophical potential. Intersections and diagrams are assembled to form a grand ‘association-chain-massacre’. which challenges itself to answer all questions of the universe and some more. Of course, it totally fails this assignment, but in its failure it still manages to produce some magical nuance and shades between the great topics death, cable tv, emotions and hamsters.

That was quite cool…
Interesting which is to say it was unlike all the horrid powerpoints I’ve previously sat through grinding my teeth and thinking: “beam me up, Scotty “.
I loved this. Beautiful music from Aphex, and playful graphics. Movement is nice even when simplified and naively idiotic. Wonderful.
Did remind me of Brass eye though:
‘If you plot time versus human capacity for causing pain against actual animals feelings of pain you get a pattern so random that you might as well just put a few foxes heads on sticks. But if you do that…something very interesting starts to happen. The word pain starts to flash.’
Or something like that
I’m lucky in that I’ve managed to avoid Powerpoint for most of my life. The New Yorker ran an amazing and eye-opening article on how Powerpoint’s ubiquity is narrowing the range of human thought. That’s a bold premise, I know, but it has some real validity. Meetings are indoctrination sessions, and Powerpoint is the grammar: if it cannot be expressed in Powerpoint, it often gets left off. Thus is the course of human history diverted.
