	Technocrat (derogatory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In this sense, calling someone a "technocrat" implies that he is part of a bureaucracy where decisions are handed down by unelected officials chosen according to their real or supposed technical knowledge.
		A CEO may make a decision, such as outsourcing or robotic automation of a factory, that is in the best interests of the company, but does not include non-technical aspects such as the loss of employees and their subsequent salaries.
		Whether the term "technocrat" carries a positive or negative connotation depends largely on the context, audience and the intent of the person using it.

		While in the first ones the changes are generated through real time improvisations using musical instruments (Ritter has collaborated in them with George Lewis, John Oswald, Trevor Tureski, Tom Walsh, Thomas Dimuzio, Richard Teitelbaum, Ben Neil etc.), in installations it is through the physical presence of an audience (Intersection, TV Guides, Skies etc.).
