retrospective again...I'm not updating fast enough!
So talking to Genius, I changed the idea again..it was maybe a month ago.
So really, I wanted to make a more obvious stand. I want to show how every choice we make, technological more than others- is political.
Tech companies get funding very often from the government, because their products are being used to support the current administration's budget choices.
anyhow..the way I want to make this come through is by finding out which companies get those kind of fundings (no idea really how im gonna do that...remains to be seen..) and re-creating their products in a way that when a user is turning somehting on (or pushing a button) a certain amount (not too big) of pain will be inflicted on the user (little zaps, blindingish lights, bad sounds, tightning muscle wire..i dont know).
That way- made to put an emphasis on the price someone is paying everytime we push a button.
