The Emancipator Bubble

image Even though I'm not very proficient in Spanish, I'm pretty sure that the Emancipator Bubble is a hoax. According to the machine translation, the Emancipator Bubble "is an inflatable cockpit, with bubble form, that allows you independent living without leaving the familiarity of your house." In other words, it's a large inflatable bubble that you live in, instead of just living in your room. It comes in various models, such as the Sexmancipator. This racy model is "Made with a plastic similar to the latex and with an interior permanently lubricated. It incorporates a small vibrating motor. It is totally soundproof towards the outside." I think the concept of the Emancipator Bubble is a marketing concept dreamed up by a bubble gum company. (via We Make Money Not Art)

Hoax indeed. The basic instructions have some fake Japanese. It's in katakana, but it makes no sense at all.

I'm not really sure I understand what it does. You can live in a small bubble, instead of just your room. You are still dependent upone your parents for the water, phone, etc...

So, it doesn't really make you feel emancipated. Plus, this space is a hell of a lot smaller than your room & if your parents were smart, they'd figure out a way to tape you in, so you'd quit bugging them.

It's totally a hoax.

I don't quite understand the point either. Probobly would be easier to understand if it was in English, but then again, maybe not. Seems a bit silly.

As far as I know, the Emancipator Bubble is some kind of art project, more than an actual product. It's been conceived by a group of artists from Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain) as a sarcastic response to the high prices of flats here, which make very difficult to emancipate from one's parents. They've had plenty of press coverage, although, so I don't know if they'll eventually sell actual bubbles.
