Automation Baby
Confirm, Obey, Consume": when John Carpenter directed "They Live" in 1988, he chose an utopian view on a blind consumer-society in which only his protagonist could decipher advertisements as imperatives with the above mentioned messages. 25 years later, this utopian view seems to have become the new common sense of the Facebook-generation. Mesh use this notion in "Automation Baby" as the main theme of their new album: Lets exchange real-life friends with the virtual ones behind an ever-shining screen. Lets give in to a brave new Facebook-world that warp and constitute our sense of reality in the future. Lets give in to consumerism and technology: Thats Automation Baby!
