The Candidate by The Lab Collective

Behind closed doors is an opportunity to change the game. Your candidate needs YOU to participate in a unique polling session, helping to shape his ideals, policy and image. He can be whatever you want him to be, make the promises you need him to make, and carefully adjust how he looks to suit your taste.

You matter. Your voice matters, and together we can engineer the future.

Perception is at the forefront of politics, and the digital age leaves no stone
unturned in the quest to satisfy our hunger for information - not only as commentary on current affairs, but also as a leisure activity, shaping our perspective, exposing us to selective aspects of politics and mutating public figures into mass entertainment.

The Candidate explores the complex relationship between the public and it's prospective leaders. Delving into the draw to power, and the new, malleable means by which to grasp it, The Candidate traces the journey of a prospective leader as a pawn in his own game using the public as co conspirators; but at its core is the key question - who is playing who?
