I\u2019m your host, Eria Quint, here to hold down the center and moderate today\u2019s discussion. With elections just around the corner, many senatorial campaigns have, once again, set up holograms in public places to grab the attention of distracted voters.\n\nRecently, Gemma streets have been flooded by holograms of the Tevarin candidate Suj Kossi, but not all of them have been authorized by his campaign. Self-proclaimed satirist and visual artist Felix Crawford has taken to the streets of Gemma to set up his own holograms of Kossi. Some argue his holograms have directly lead to an increase in anti-Tevarin rhetoric that has recently plagued the public debate around Mr. Kossi\u2019s campaign. Mr. Crawford is here to explain why he created the holograms. Thanks for joining us, Felix.\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Great to be here.\n\nERIA QUINT: And here to tell us why Mr. Crawford\u2019s art should be banned is Nori Ryak, a consultant for the Kossi campaign. Welcome to the show.\n\nNORI RYAK: Hi, Eria. Let me start by saying that we don\u2019t want to \u201cban\u201d art. What Mr. Crawford has perpetrated is nothing more than racism disguised as art.\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Everyone\u2019s a critic.\n\nERIA QUINT: Mr. Crawford, how would you describe this series of installations?\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: It is an interactive hologram series I call \u201cA New Era of Tevarin Dominance.\u201d It displays Mr. Kossi and an imagined proposal about how, if elected, he\u2019d draft legislation to change Jalan\u2019s official name back to Kaleeth, the Tevarin name for the planet.\n\nERIA QUINT: And you don\u2019t see how that could be misinterpreted?\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: My goal was to do what I always aim to do \u2026 entertain and engage people in a conversation. The Kossi campaign has dominated the Elysium media landscape for months. If he\u2019s elected, it\u2019ll be an historic event for the Empire. I wouldn\u2019t be doing my job if I didn\u2019t put my spin on the situation.\n\nNORI RYAK: Spin is one thing, but this kind of rhetoric is dangerous. I have no problem with Mr. Crawford expressing his views, but he\u2019s doing it in a way that inflames the public by grossly misrepresenting Mr. Kossi\u2019s positions on a number of issues, which could drive away voters who would otherwise support him.\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: I\u2019ve never claimed that the holograms are supposed to accurately represent Mr. Kossi or his views.\n\nNORI RYAK: But you\u2019re failing to let people know that.\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: That\u2019s not true. There\u2019s a very clear disclaimer attached to the hologram.\n\nNORI RYAK: That can only be found if someone takes the time to hold up their mobiGlas to it. Mr. Crawford may call this art, but it\u2019s coming off more like a smear campaign.\n\nERIA QUINT: Mr. Crawford, some have argued that your depiction of Kossi is a caricature of the Tevarin race and deeply offensive. How do you justify those choices?\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Listen, I\u2019m a satirist. I\u2019m not here to be politically correct. It\u2019s the deep-seated emotions around issues that I find really interesting. The fact that people are responding strongly to my work means that I\u2019ve tapped into something real. For me, that makes this work successful.\n\nNORI RYAK: Mr. Kossi\u2019s campaign offices have received a noticeable rise in anti-Tevarin Comms since these holograms appeared. Notorious anti-Tevarin groups have even started picketing Kossi campaign events. Right now, the public debate is less about Mr. Kossi\u2019s policies and ideas and more about him being Tevarin. This piece of \u201cart\u201d could not only compromise this election, but the safety of everyday people, and should be taken down.\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Come on, I can\u2019t be held responsible for the actions of others. What I do know is that what Mr. Ryak keeps suggesting sounds a lot like censorship to me. I might not understand politics, but I know that advocating for the end of artistic free speech would probably harm Mr. Kossi\u2019s campaign more than my holograms.\n\nNORI RYAK: You\u2019re not concerned that your holograms are going to get people hurt?\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: My only concern was to make something interesting. People\u2019s interpretation of it is completely out of my control.\n\nNORI RYAK: There\u2019s no need to interpret the message. It\u2019s as plain as day. It\u2019s not like there are \u201csatirical\u201d holograms about the other candidates. Not a single one mocks Marigold\u2019s outdated tax initiative or Graci\u00e1n\u2019s views on Senator Polo\u2019s bill. It makes me wonder who\u2019s really behind all of this.\n\nERIA QUINT: I\u2019m sorry, are you suggesting that another candidate is involved?\n\nNORI RYAK: I\u2019m just saying there\u2019s got to be a reason Mr. Kossi is being singled out.\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Yes, there absolutely was a reason I singled him out. Doing so would bring my work the most attention, and being on this show is proof that it worked. Universal name recognition is the hardest thing to achieve as an artist and thanks to all this, I\u2019m now one step closer.\n\nERIA QUINT: That is all the time we have for this discussion. Thanks to both of you for being here today. Definitely a complicated issue. For more on this, and more ongoing election coverage, make sure to visit us on the spectrum. Join us again next time to hear from both sides of the toughest debates, only on Showdown!","de_DE":"SHOWDOWN!\nAutomatische \u00dcbertragung f\u00fcr S&P- und NFSC-Einreichungen\n\nEP: 58:96 : \"Die Holo-Debatte\".\nERIA QUINT: Danke, dass du dich uns f\u00fcr eine weitere Ausgabe von Showdown angeschlossen hast - wo wir alle Themen, die das Imperium dominieren, aus zwei verschiedenen Perspektiven betrachten. Ich bin Ihre Gastgeberin, Eria Quint, hier, um das Zentrum zu halten und die heutige Diskussion zu moderieren. Mit Wahlen kurz vor der T\u00fcr haben viele Senatskampagnen wieder einmal Hologramme an \u00f6ffentlichen Orten aufgestellt, um die Aufmerksamkeit der abgelenkten W\u00e4hler auf sich zu ziehen.\n\nK\u00fcrzlich wurden die Gemma-Stra\u00dfen von Hologrammen des Tevarin-Kandidaten Suj Kossi \u00fcberflutet, aber nicht alle wurden von seiner Kampagne genehmigt. Der selbsternannte Satiriker und bildende K\u00fcnstler Felix Crawford ist auf die Stra\u00dfen von Gemma gegangen, um seine eigenen Hologramme von Kossi zu erstellen. Einige argumentieren, dass seine Hologramme direkt zu einer Zunahme der Anti-Tevarin-Rhetorik gef\u00fchrt haben, die k\u00fcrzlich die \u00f6ffentliche Debatte um die Kampagne von Herrn Kossi geplagt hat. Mr. Crawford ist hier, um zu erkl\u00e4ren, warum er die Hologramme erstellt hat. Danke, dass du dich uns angeschlossen hast, Felix.\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Sch\u00f6n, hier zu sein.\n\nERIA QUINT: Und hier, um uns zu sagen, warum Mr. Crawfords Kunst verboten werden sollte, ist Nori Ryak, ein Berater f\u00fcr die Kossi-Kampagne. Willkommen in der Show.\n\nNORI RYAK: Hi, Eria. Lassen Sie mich zun\u00e4chst sagen, dass wir die Kunst nicht \"verbieten\" wollen. Was Mr. Crawford begangen hat, ist nichts anderes als Rassismus, der als Kunst getarnt ist.\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Jeder ist ein Kritiker.\n\nERIA QUINT: Herr Crawford, wie w\u00fcrden Sie diese Serie von Installationen beschreiben?\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Es ist eine interaktive Hologramm-Serie, die ich \"Eine neue \u00c4ra der Tevarin-Dominanz\" nenne. Es zeigt Herrn Kossi und einen imagin\u00e4ren Vorschlag dar\u00fcber, wie er, wenn er gew\u00e4hlt wird, eine Gesetzgebung entwerfen w\u00fcrde, um Jalans offiziellen Namen wieder in Kaleeth, den Namen Tevarin f\u00fcr den Planeten, zu \u00e4ndern.\n\nERIA QUINT: Und Sie sehen nicht, wie das falsch interpretiert werden kann?\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Mein Ziel war es, das zu tun, was ich immer tun wollte.... Menschen zu unterhalten und in ein Gespr\u00e4ch einzubinden. Die Kossi-Kampagne dominiert seit Monaten die Medienlandschaft von Elysium. Wenn er gew\u00e4hlt wird, wird es ein historisches Ereignis f\u00fcr das Imperium sein. Ich w\u00fcrde meinen Job nicht machen, wenn ich die Situation nicht in den Griff bek\u00e4me.\n\nNORI RYAK: Spin ist eine Sache, aber diese Art von Rhetorik ist gef\u00e4hrlich. Ich habe kein Problem damit, dass Herr Crawford seine Ansichten \u00e4u\u00dfert, aber er tut es auf eine Art und Weise, die die \u00d6ffentlichkeit in Aufruhr versetzt, indem er die Positionen von Herrn Kossi zu einer Reihe von Themen grob falsch darstellt, was W\u00e4hler vertreiben k\u00f6nnte, die ihn sonst unterst\u00fctzen w\u00fcrden.\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Ich habe nie behauptet, dass die Hologramme Herrn Kossi oder seine Ansichten genau darstellen sollen.\n\nNORI RYAK: Aber Sie haben es vers\u00e4umt, den Leuten das mitzuteilen.\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Das ist nicht wahr. Es gibt einen sehr klaren Disclaimer, der dem Hologramm beigef\u00fcgt ist.\n\nNORI RYAK: Das kann man nur finden, wenn sich jemand die Zeit nimmt, sein mobiGlas daran zu halten. Mr. Crawford mag das Kunst nennen, aber es kommt eher wie eine Hetzkampagne r\u00fcber.\n\nERIA QUINT: Herr Crawford, einige haben argumentiert, dass Ihre Darstellung von Kossi eine Karikatur der Tevarin-Rasse und tief beleidigend ist. Wie rechtfertigen Sie diese Entscheidungen?\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: H\u00f6r zu, ich bin ein Satiriker. Ich bin nicht hier, um politisch korrekt zu sein. Es sind die tief sitzenden Emotionen zu Themen, die ich wirklich interessant finde. Die Tatsache, dass die Menschen stark auf meine Arbeit reagieren, bedeutet, dass ich etwas Reales erschlossen habe. Das macht diese Arbeit f\u00fcr mich erfolgreich.\n\nNORI RYAK: Die Wahlkampfb\u00fcros von Herrn Kossi haben einen sp\u00fcrbaren Anstieg der Anti-Tevarin-Kommissionen erhalten, seit diese Hologramme erschienen sind. Ber\u00fcchtigte Anti-Tevarin-Gruppen haben sogar damit begonnen, Kossi-Kampagnenveranstaltungen zu \u00fcberwachen. Im Moment geht es in der \u00f6ffentlichen Debatte weniger um die Politik und die Ideen von Herrn Kossi als vielmehr darum, dass er Tevarin ist. Dieses Kunstwerk k\u00f6nnte nicht nur diese Wahl gef\u00e4hrden, sondern auch die Sicherheit der Menschen im Alltag und sollte abgeschafft werden.\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Komm schon, ich kann nicht f\u00fcr die Handlungen anderer verantwortlich gemacht werden. Was ich wei\u00df, ist, dass das, was Mr. Ryak vorschl\u00e4gt, f\u00fcr mich wie eine Zensur klingt. Ich verstehe die Politik vielleicht nicht, aber ich wei\u00df, dass die Bef\u00fcrwortung des Endes der k\u00fcnstlerischen Redefreiheit wahrscheinlich die Kampagne von Herrn Kossi mehr sch\u00e4digen w\u00fcrde als meine Hologramme.\n\nNORI RYAK: Sie sind nicht besorgt, dass Ihre Hologramme Menschen verletzen werden?\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Mein einziges Anliegen war es, etwas Interessantes zu machen. Die Interpretation durch die Leute liegt v\u00f6llig au\u00dferhalb meiner Kontrolle.\n\nNORI RYAK: Es besteht keine Notwendigkeit, die Nachricht zu interpretieren. Es ist so klar wie der Tag. Es ist ja nicht so, dass es \"satirische\" Hologramme \u00fcber die anderen Kandidaten gibt. Nicht ein einziger verspottet Marigolds veraltete Steuerinitiative oder Graci\u00e1ns Ansichten \u00fcber den Entwurf von Senator Polo. Es stellt mich die Frage, wer wirklich hinter all dem steckt.\n\nERIA QUINT: Es tut mir leid, schlagen Sie vor, dass ein anderer Kandidat beteiligt ist?\n\nNORI RYAK: Ich sage nur, dass es einen Grund geben muss, warum Herr Kossi ausgew\u00e4hlt wurde.\n\nFELIX CRAWFORD: Ja, es gab absolut einen Grund, warum ich ihn ausgew\u00e4hlt habe. Dies w\u00fcrde meiner Arbeit die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Aufmerksamkeit verschaffen, und an dieser Show teilzunehmen, ist ein Beweis daf\u00fcr, dass es funktioniert hat. Die universelle Bekanntheit des Namens ist das Schwierigste, was man als K\u00fcnstler erreichen kann, und dank all dem bin ich jetzt einen Schritt n\u00e4her gekommen.\n\nERIA QUINT: Das ist die ganze Zeit, die wir f\u00fcr diese Diskussion haben. Danke, dass ihr beide heute hier seid. Definitiv ein kompliziertes Thema. F\u00fcr weitere Informationen zu diesem Thema und eine kontinuierlichere Berichterstattung \u00fcber die Wahlen besuchen Sie uns auf dem Spektrum.
