Iott, Celik and Schulz / A Leader that Speaks for Us
Artists Alicia Iott, Hizal Celik, and Anna Schulz create A Leader that Speaks for Us, an interactive simulation of president-elect Donald Trump, speaking for the people.
Exhibited online using tweets tweeted using the hashtag #NotMyPresident, the simulation expresses these tweets, the words of the people, in Trump’s voice.
@SpeakerRyan so ready to continue to deny science and push use of dangerous fossil fuels #resist #notmypresident

Iott explains, “In an attempt to visualize a true democracy, we took to the internet to create a leader representing America’s views.”
Exhibited alongside its inspiration, A Leader that Speaks for Us implements the visualizations of the peoples’ opinions in real time.

Schulz says “In association with this simulation, Twitter presents itself as a forum for the people to make it their own.”
