WEAKEND (usually represented in all caps, but sometimes referred to as Weakend) is a 2003 Canadian short experimental film created by video artist Daniel Cockburn, made through a remix of audio and video from The 6th Day, a Hollywood feature film about cloning starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.[1] Commissioned by famefame for the third biennial Tranz Tech Media Art Festival, the work was awarded the Jury prize.
[Schwarzenegger]: What are you doing to me? I don't think this is very funny. Who are you? You think you are a media artist because you control me with a piece of software. This is terrible. This is not natural. This is creepy. You know that. I want my life back. You think you are God because you control me. No, I don't think you are God. I don't think you are a media artist. You are a sick bastard. You can go fuck yourself. I'm going to take my life back.
[Videomaker]: Love me two times Frankenstein and I'll enjoy you from both ends, making and unmaking you. I prefer your image anyways, the one that's on my hard drive, cooking all night with new changes. Wait until you see the new you. Though looking forward is something only I can do. You are condemned to looking back.
