Storkmeyer & Bullfrog

Storkmeyer wears a bow tie and obeys every rule, button and sign. Bullfrog sits on a stool with his eyes half shut and quietly installs them: knobs connected to nothing, gauges that measure nothing, signs that mean nothing. Every clip ends the same way. Storkmeyer panics, Bullfrog points at the obvious, and someone famous gets quoted.

This is 21st-century Dada. In 1916 the Dadaists in Zurich mocked a world that had obeyed its way into a war. A century later the systems are smaller and friendlier (notifications, dashboards, metrics, terms and conditions) and we obey them just the same.

The scripts are written by a frog and a machine together, which seemed like the most Dada thing to do. Now and then.
