Stay on target.......

On Target

"Recessed into a urinal is a pressure-sensitive display screen. When the guest uses it, he triggers an interactive game, producing images and sound. The reduced size of the “target” improves restroom hygiene and saves on cleanings costs (like the “fly in the urinal” at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport). It also makes a trip to the urinal “fun and games” – more than just a necessary nuisance. By projecting the game experience into the public space, viewers are treated to a new way of visualizing the abstract, and the entertainment value is boosted. The projection of the project into a museum space was conceived of as a critical-ironic measure, questioning the concept of art, but extending it at the same time. “On target” is an interactive installation with the functional purpose of improving hygiene."

OK, forgive the egregious generalization, but such a thing would only work in a urinal. Women would get (a) annoyed and (b) bored at such a thing. And how does such a game score? If you urinate longer, do you get more "game time?" Such a thing is undoubtedly desirable at places like bars where urination is copious and hygene is questionable at best.

I was just looking at it going "What the hell game do you play on it?"" Pac-Man?? Space Invaders? Gods forbid you try and play Marble Madness on it......

BTW, I told my therapist here, (her husband is a vet), the "Soup Stock" story. :-)
