Technologised Bodies



 Kazuhiko Hachiya 

Inter Dis-Communication Machine









What is interesting about this work?

People wear the machine that can only see what another see. The thing you touch in the front is not what you see, it is amazing. When two people wear the machine at the same time, then face to face to touch each other, what they see are themselves but cannot see others. It can help you to know what things are people seeing. However, it is easy to happen accident because you cannot see the obstacle in front of you when you are wearing the machine.


Does this work highlight any changes that are happening in today’s society?  

Yes. This work really reflects our society. It is used to let you know what others do. In this day, people are very busy and not communicate with others e.g. friends, family. There is a smartphone app called Instagram. People can use this app to follow their friends' picture such as what they eat, who they meet. We can see all the things that they shared on Instagram. To get better insight into friends, keeping follow what they experienced is the best way just like this work.

  1. Dear Lily,

    I am Little Ming. I do love this artwork. I think this artwork give me a such illusion for people can make us know more about the connection between human beings and advanced technology nowadays. I think this way can lead me rethink the problem and situation via this machine.
