The interactive installation "Das Ding" (German for "The Thing"), puts an old, forgotten, intelligent, CRT television in the center of attention.

It is being put into the spotlight. It is given a voice in its own language and an identity to be explored.
“Das Ding” triggers feelings of either regret, friendship or manipulation in both the player and the TV itself.

This is achieved by telling an interactive story. With the help of dialog boxes and footage from the past, the TV communicates with the player.

All with the intent of fulfilling its original purpose: “Das Ding” wants to be watched.
