Box Me Dumb Human

In the Box Me Dumb Human installation, a large leather bunny puppet with red glowing eyes (a boxing bag for now) is boxed by the player, while insulting/motivating him with arguments taken from the AI debate. The player is in a way fighting for all that is good about humanity, what distinguishes it from abstract mechanism, and he is fighting against the machine or system.
