Technologised bodies in art

Kazuhiko Hachiya's  Inter-Discommunication Machine is the most interesting one. Actually, I am not interested in science and technology. That's why I am not appreciated the other two works compared with Hachiya's work. I like the concept of Hachiya's work. He made a pretty good use of technology. After wearing the head-mounted displays, two players can exchange their sense of seeing and hearing in order to break the borders of defining "you" and "me". Such interesting idea can be easily achieved when people trying this machine, however, it is impossible to experience it without using technology. I think it is a great work to bring happiness and new experience for people. I can imagine how excited it is.

Moreover, the installation is full of uniqueness. The wings which they are wearing are communication system.  There are transmitter and TV to be install inside.  The feather is another commuication system. After wearing the visual glass, participater can see what other participater see. It can confuse their visual perception. To aim at arising participater's "double identity self" and "mutual identity". Participaters would have double idendity when they are playing with this machine. They would start thinking of the question of self-idendity.

 The appearance of this artwork is beautiful. Every parts of the machine are designed in a well quality, included the use of color and the decoration on it. The floor is designed with a Chinese-like sign. It is a sign of "TaiChi". The artist has added some elements from Chinese philosophy. The sign means something like "negative" and "positive". Therefore, I guess the artist would like to explain an idea of fusion and separation. It is relevant to the concept of this artwork.
