Seven figures are dressed in camouflage, a fashion which has become increasingly popular since the War
on Terror campaign. Click on the figures and they move. They copy, they imitate. Click one, click two.
Choose a leader. Become a leader, and the rest will follow. Exercise 1-2-3-4. One Bend. Two Bend. Three
Bend. Stay Look Straight – Don’t See – STAY. We allow the media to think for us and
amputate individual reasoning. Mental and physical activity slip from the mechanical to the mindless;
into fear, chaos and violence against an enemy that does not exist. Everybody Bend. Don’t Talk.
’t See. Don’t Hear.
