Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Show Must Go On. Social Media Fights for the Presidency!

The US presidential election is a product manufactured for the big stage of TV: here, orchestrated reality TV shows are sold as political debates, and ‘stars’ like Donald Trump conquer the stage by establishing ‘perceived facts’ and telling blatant lies. Political opinion is served as easily digestible nibbles that circulate across the digital channels of social media. Twitter, Facebook and Co. have long become main actors driving the presidential campaign.

The Show Must Go On by Marc Lee captures the circulation flow and momentum of the social media-fueled campaign, exaggerating it to the point where it tips into a theatre of the absurd. The online work filters the most recent Twitter, Instagram and Youtube messages that mention terms like “Clinton”, “Trump” or “US Election”, weaving them into a wild TV show. A new version of Lee’s TV-Bot (2004). The Show Must Go On was specially created for the US elections. The original version was designed as an Internet news service that grabbed its content from more traditional TV and radio channels. Its sole principle was that of novelty. Additionally, what counts today is the ‘Likes’ and ‘Retweets’ that migrate across the screen as stars (Clinton) and hearts (Trump), fighting for the presidency. Whatever the ending of the show, it will be historical – and it will be just the beginning

Deutsch: Der US-amerikanische Präsidentschaftswahlkampf ist für die grosse Bühne des Fernsehens gemacht: hier werden inszenierte Reality-TV-Shows als politische Debatten verkauft, hier stürmen „Stars“ wie Donald Trump mit gefühlten Fakten und offenkundigen Lügen die Bühne. Politische Meinungsbildung wird in gut verdaulichen Häppchen serviert, die in den digitalen Kanälen sozialer Medien zirkulieren. Twitter, Facebook und Co. sind längst zum zentralen Akteur im Wahlkampf geworden.

The Show Must Go On von Marc Lee führt die Eigendynamik und den Zirkulationsstrudel eines über Social Media befeuerten Wahlkampfs als überspitztes, absurdes Theater vor. Die Online-Arbeit filtert aktuellste Twitter-, Instagram-und Youtube-Meldungen heraus, welche Begriffe wie „Clinton“, „Trump“ oder „US Election“ enthalten, und verwebt diese zu einer wilden TV-Show. The Show Must Go On ist eine speziell für die US-Wahlen erstellte Version des TV-Bot, der in seiner ursprünglichen Form von 2004 als Internet-Nachrichtendienst noch auf klassische TV- und Radiokanäle zugriff und alleine dem Kriterium der Aktualität verpflichtet war. Heute zählen zudem die Likes und Retweets, die als Sternchen (Clinton) und Herzchen (Trump) über den Screen wandern und um den Sieg kämpfen. Welches Ende die Show auch nimmt: es wird historisch – und es wird erst der Anfang sein.
