    He Drank | 2007

The project He Drank is based on a contrast to the ordinary perception of a toy and a toy owner. Toy owners mostly destroy their toys (they wear out, have a certain live durability); in this case, the interactive toy is supposed to destroy its owner. The interactive object Chlastal depicts a spider, size 1m3, with an incorporated tummy (a mini tank), that holds alcohol – poison. After the subject (interested in that poison) whistles, the spider runs to him and serves him the poison… The object He Drank is an efficient toy for grown-ups and there is no dispute that it elongs into the category of owner-destroyers. __________________________________________________________________ Projekt Chlastal je založený na kontraste k bežnému ponímaniu hračky a majiteľa danej hračky. Väčšinou majitelia ničia svoje hračky (opotrebovávajú sa, majú určitú životnosť), v danom prípade interaktívna hračka má za úlohu ničiť svojho majiteľa. Interaktívny objekt Chlastal znázorňuje pavúka vo veľkosti 1m3 so zakomponovaným bruškom (nádržkou), ktorá obsahuje alkohol - jed. Subjekt (záujemca o daný jed) po zapískaní k nemu pribehne pavúk a načapuje mu daný jed... Objekt Chlastal je účinnou hračkou pre dospelých, ktorá nepochybne patrí k ničiteľom svojich majiteľov.
