One Year to Activate You

​This is fun. Going through some old files I discovered this thing that I made in 2006. It was for, I think, the last of several workshops that Suspect Culture ran to develop the show Futurology (2007). The show was set at a conference and for a while we were very interested in corporate atmospheres and ruthless capitalism. I was asked to put together a mock-inspiring corporate motivation PowerPoint presentation. This is the result: One Year To Activate You. We had it playing on a loop for one of the days of the workshop until it began seriously to creep people out.

It's a list piece. The presentation mixes conventional corporate wisdom with moments of darkness and brutality and begins to be haunted by itself as it goes on. ​Click on the image above to watch.
