Tool for armchair activists, by Troika is a machine for remote rants and protests. It can be strapped to lampposts in front of pro-eminent buildings like the house of parliament, or other institutional buildings in front of which many protests occur. Thanks to its embedded mobile telecommunication device, the machine is able to receive incoming sms messages and speak them out loud through its powerful megaphones, thus allowing the armchair activist to shout out its rants and protests in the comfort of his sitting room.

Tool for armchair activists è il nuovo progetto firmato Troika, già autore di Sms Guerrilla Projector. Si tratta di una macchina per protestare “da remoto”. Composta da un dispositivo mobile per la ricezione dei messaggi e da un grande megafono, può essere installata di fronte ai palazzi del potere, magari su un lampione. Per manifestare comodamente, anche dalla poltrona di casa. Basta mandare un sms…
