"Why not have an artist in the President's cabinet. What makes this interesting is how their artistic qualities could make this possible."
Estelle Pietrzyk
Museum Director (MAMCS)
"We consider artists as experts and our co-operation with them is an exchange that cuts both ways"
Marianne There-Mano
Diplomat for the German foreign office

An artist in the President's cabinet?
Video - 24'
(original version in French. English subtitles on request)
This film animation was produced using the recording from the live round table debate by the same title. It brought together speakers from a variety of sectors to discuss whether artists can be considered as experts similar to a scientist or economist when shaping the future in the context of big challenges faced by humanity. The film uses a style which reflects the complexity of the issues and the changing role of the artist in society. Starting as a simple one dimensional line drawing, it evolves into an entangled soup of colour and sound.
