Adam Gibson (Archive) (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a protagonist in WEAKEND. Archival footage of Arnold Schwarzenegger's character, digitally deconstructed and replicated throughout the video.

When the creator's control lapses, the reconstructed figure briefly asserts agency, angrily demanding solitude and being likened to a 'Frankenstein'.
