How to Train Your Humans brings the telescreen from Orwellian fiction into the present as a familiar domestic object. Custom wooden enclosures, embedded cameras, networked screens, and persuasive media create an environment in which the apparatus that entertains and informs also observes in volunteers' homes.
The telescreen as object
The telescreen is not a separate artwork but a recurring sculptural and technical object within How to Train Your Humans. It functions as a domestic display, a camera housing, and a broadcast surface that turns a familiar screen into a mechanism of observation and behavioural instruction.
Placed in the home or gallery, the object collapses entertainment, surveillance, and propaganda into one apparatus. Its wood construction keeps it tactile and domestic, while the camera and moving-image content make the viewer aware that the object is not simply presenting information; it is also watching.
