Hello, citizens of Acity!

Today’s featured work, [The Sovereign], was created based on the core theories of the controversial figure in modern political philosophy, Carl Schmitt: the Sovereign and the State of Exception. Carl Schmitt defined the sovereign as "he who decides on the exception." This means that the true master is the one with the absolute decisiveness to suspend normal rules and declare a state of emergency beyond the mechanical operation of daily routines. This project visualizes the moments of absolute power navigating the boundaries of the law, set against a control room filled with numerous monitors and cold, mechanical systems.

The line "I don't follow the code... I am the code" in the lyrics sings of the dignity of a sovereign who is not bound by given rules but becomes the law herself. Furthermore, the declaration "I pause the game, State of Exception!" demonstrates the overwhelming charisma of a designer who halts the existing order to make a new decision.

The moment you pause the routine governed by rules and establish a new order through your own decisive will. Following the gaze of the designer who becomes the law to operate the world, I hope you enjoy a time of pleasant contemplation as you exercise your sovereign power as the master of your own life.

Transcript
00:06High above the glass
00:11Looking from the ground
00:15I make the call that turns it up or down
00:41Ten thousand moving shadows blurring past the towering glass floor
00:46Running inside the system's grid like clockwork
00:49Behind the door, standing beyond their everyday rules
00:53At an untouched distance away
00:55With a quiet touch upon the screen
00:57I decide the shift today
00:59Of a mechanical order that built to keep the status quo
01:03Freezes into an absolute hush
01:06The moment I say so drawn far beyond the boundary line
01:11An absolute line
01:13Freezing the routine order
01:15In my own time
01:17Cold glass catching the distant skyline
01:20Shine the final call
01:22That's just the game is solely mine
01:28I hold the exception
01:33Cutting right through the grid
01:35The sovereign
01:36Declaring the silent shift
01:39Final decision
01:41Cutting right through the grid
01:43The sovereign
01:45Claiming absolute hush
01:47Feet on the high glass window
01:50Breaking past the freaks and boundaries they try to design
01:55The city's fake
01:56The city's fake
01:56The whole pizza itself right here in my line of sight
02:00In my line of sight
02:05In my line of sight
02:25This land inside this quiet sanctuary
02:28Where no intrusion can stay
02:32The weight of absolute rule
02:36Turns the night into my day
02:42From far beyond the boundary line
02:45An absolute line
02:46Freezing the routine order
02:49In my own time
02:50Cold glass catching the distant skyline
02:55Cold glass catching the distant skyline
02:55Shine the final call
02:57The final call that shifts
02:57The game is solely mine
03:03Cutting right through the grid
03:04The sovereign
03:07Declaring the silent shift
03:09Final decision
03:11Cutting right through the grid
03:13The sovereign
03:15Claiming absolute hush
03:17Beyond the high glass window
03:20Breaking past the freaks and boundaries they try to design
03:25The city's fake
03:26Complete itself right here in my line of sight
03:30Line of sight
03:38Standard rules fade out
03:41My decision becomes the new order
03:44Now I don't follow the system's call
03:49I am the one who rules it all
03:54Watch it, pause
03:56Cutting right through the grid
03:59The sovereign
04:01Declaring the silent shift
04:03Final decision
04:05Cutting right through the grid
04:07The sovereign
04:09Claiming absolute hush
04:12Beyond the high glass window
04:14Breaking past the freaks and boundaries they try to design
04:19The city's fake
04:20Complete itself right here in my line of sight
04:25Line of sight
04:29Line of sight
04:33The sovereign
04:37Drain
04:39High above the rules
04:41I decide
04:47And it stops
05:08We'll see you next time.
