I'd love to see somebody get into a heated argument with that thing. :lol:

I dunno what was funnier. the lady growling, the blender startling her, or the fact that it responds to human voices the way it does.

So is this an art project or a science project?

The experience for the participant is to speak the language of the machine and thus to more deeply understand and connect with the machine. The action may also bring about personal revelations in the participant. The participant empathizes with Blendie and in this new approach to a domestic appliance, a conscious and personally meaningful relationship is facilitated.
Sounds artsy to me, or this person is seriously @#$%ed in teh head. Same thing, I suppose.
