Aranjuez, Madrid. AVATARES. THE CHILDREN TELE. Giovanni Sartori, in his work warns about the impoverishment of the understanding and the loss of the capacity of abstraction. Both facts would be caused by the primacy of the image (television) over the written word. The toy is an essential concept and in which it takes its maximum value in the context of human development. It is through toys that children explore, discover, learn and interact with multiple objects and problems that form an important part of their proper development as individuals. The companion becomes the screen where their own emotional states are projected and can thus be articulated and managed. Stuffed animals are there when children feel they have been left alone, give them a firm footing and function as conversation partners and in this way contribute to psychological resilience. For children, the companion has a personality and is almost alive. Intuitively, they attribute feelings and a personal will to it. In fact, they establish an imaginary relationship ("para-social relationship"), which allows the child to experiment. However, in the current era, play has been subordinated to large corporations and big brands that use toys to promote a system of life, marking patterns and consumer habits, leaving no room for this relationship since the product takes the lead. Nowadays the models of the ideal companion personifies something with its presentation, with the material and with the references (e.g. a TV program). Dolls have a skin color, stuffed animals refer to specific types of animals, and characters refer to specific programs, etc. . Through these works I raise the symbiosis between children, brands, and games, the latter two are responsible for alienating the child's systems and limiting their social relationship system. Changing him, transforming him to such an extent that his own childhood is disfigured. That is to say, it prepares the child for a new role, and what remains is the collage creation of different habits, consumerist. The child remains ultimately, behind the tangle, the dislocation of the manipulation suffered and thus can serve as a kind of product communicator and mediator between parents and children. The child, behind the created mask of false childhood becomes a series, a catalog reference, a sort of avatar or a graphic representation, totally distorted, which is associated to a user for future identification in his demand. It is positioned behind the toy-product acquiring those values by enhancing emotional anesthesia and following the pattern of what we call social networks.
