Subtitled ‘A cautionary tale for the chemical age’, Toxic is an animated video in which a child encounters radioactive waste and is transformed into a monster baby. An army of toy soldiers arrive and attack the toddler who has grown to superhuman size, and easily overpowers them. A title appears onscreen: “How can they stop him? Obliterate or medicate?”
