Re: I am not your Fearless Leader

A response to Trent's "I am not your fearless leader"

This blog inspired me because the first thought I had while reading it was: there is no guarantee I would accept a human manager as an authority, let alone a robot. As long as there have been hierarchies, there has been anarchy (and possibly even longer!). There are always people and communities that do not fit the neat structures and rules 'we' have devised. Instead of making creatures that would be better at reinforcing our hierarchies than we are, I think it would be interesting to create an anarcho-bot. 

Using the imagery of hierarchy (having people above or below you), I would create an installation of a bot with sensors suspended under a platform. As soon as people stand above or below it, the bot starts blasting punk music because it wants to get rid of this structure.
