The interactive installation DAS DING (“The Thing”) places an old, forgotten intelligent CRT television at the center of attention.
Brought back into the spotlight, the TV is given its own language, voice, and identity to be discovered. DAS DING evokes feelings of nostalgia, connection, or even manipulation; both for the player and the TV itself.
Through an interactive narrative, using dialogue boxes and movie sequences, the television speaks directly to the player. Its ultimate goal is simple and poignant: Das Ding wants to be watched.
