“The Popular Way” is an interactive live coding performance in which the audience influences the piece by voting on different options presented every few minutes. Democratic backsliding refers to the gradual erosion of democracy and its institutions, often happening slowly and legally. If you put a frog in boiling water, it will immediately jump out to escape, but if you put it in cool water and slowly heat it up, the frog won’t feel the danger and will stay in the water until it boils to death. Can people choose and change the course of transforming democracy, or is the outcome predetermined anyway?
