re: "enfetishment of the inanimate"/things as non-human actants
the russian engineer dimitrij schurin has invented a talking vodka bottle. in
its cap there's a language-chip, a clock and a battery. when you open the
bottle it first asks you to pour in. later there are also laughing and
screaming women-voices, and the chips adds some sounds typical for
alcohol-driven feasts. also toasts like "to our parents". this actant can be
used alone or in groups.
