Behind a glass partition a
toy bear sits in a steel
partition with moveable
side walls.
After depositing
a coin, the user has the
choice to push one of two
illuminated buttons-
either teddy gets squashed
or teddy gets spared.
The number of choices made
thus by far is displayed under
the buttons. A round of voting
lasts 10 minutes, the time
still remaining until the
ballots are counted and the
winning result is carried out
is displayed on a countdown
clock.
If the vote comes out
in teddys favour,nothing happens.
If the majority decides,
that teddy gets squashed,
the bear is turned to face
the spike-covered walls and
is slowly impaled and crushed.
