Hollow Model in Open 13
Kirsten Algera / Felix Janssens, 12-12-2007

Hollow Model is presented in Open13, Cahiers on Art and the Public Domain, of SKOR/NAi Publishers.

Hollow Model is a new TEAM TCHM research theme on the quasi-publicness of political communication.
In Media Democracy nowadays, waging politics is equivalent to interim management. Market research dictates political policy, participation models and media exposure legitimize the programme of electoral managers who ‘mind the store’ for four years. In this post-political environment, the public dimensional has all but vanished; it is a an instrument of communications strategy and is simulated in applause, chat sessions and ‘covenants’. The contours of the public are still visible, just, like a carcass, a template.

‘Astroturf’ is the American term for this simulation of public involvement, the instant variant of spontaneous ‘grassroots’ movements. At Schokland, or in Kyrgyzstan. Political scientist Gene Sharp is the international Astroturf Guru. Ever since the publication of his From Dictatorship to Democracy in 1993, he has been considered the Clausowitz of non-violent warfare. Wherever he turns up, a ‘Franchised Revolution’ occurs in short order: orange, green or pink; tulip, rose of cedar. The script is expensive, but effective. ‘This is democracy, and it costs a fortune.’
