One of Poland’s first interactive installations. It combines a real, literal object (a wooden kennel) and an animated idea – a dog which responds to the viewers’ presence. Developed by means of early programming tools, “The Dog” was first shown at the Big Studio of the Polish TV in Wrocław, but it has travelled widely across Polish and international exhibitions ever since. As time went by, “The Dog” continued to transform. In its most recent iteration, it is available in a miniature form: using a cardboard kennel and a mobile app everybody can produce their own “Dog”.
