During one week, 29 August -- 3 September 2011, in a specially built glass box in the waiting hall of Stockholm Central Station, passers-by can watch as clothes are hung on a washing line, only to be soiled. Log onto Ariel's Facebook page -- www.facebook.com/arielsverige -- and you can win clothes by controlling a specially programmed industrial robot loaded with ketchup, drinking chocolate and lingonberry jam in real time. With designer garments as your targets, your challenge is to hit them as they swish in front of the robot at Stockholm Central Station. It is easy: aim, stain and win.
