Milk Duds
Interactive Object - 2004
 

A prototype for "objects that talk back to you." This is an actual box of candy that, when picked up, speaks in a small voice that comments on the relationship of humans to the chocolate/cocoa commodity, both historically and today.

In a sense, this is a "Marxist" piece in that it attempts to overcome the alienation that separates the creators of a product and its consumers.
