Das Ding (The Thing) is an experience that makes an old, forgotten CRT television the center of attention. It triggers feelings of either regret, friendship or being manipulated in both the user and the TV itself. The goal is to fulfill its original purpose: Das Ding wants to be watched. How would you answer if a television asked you a question? What about when it talks about its memories? About its feelings? About you? Consider your answers carefully, because Das Ding will draw its own conclusion.
