How it changes the abilities of the body
What does this mean ethically
In this lecture, we have watched four art examples of technologised body, they are from Eric Siu' Touchy, Stelarc, Stahl Stenslie and Kazuhiko Hachiya respectively.
This time, I would like to pick one of the four examples to express my feeling on this topic, the one I picked is from Kazuhiko Hachiya.
The art protect I watched in the lecture is called "Inter Discommunication Machine" which was made in 1993. In that machine, each of two visitors wearing a visor transimitting a real-time image of the other person's visual field. Kazuhiko Hachiuya won the prizes about this artwork at Artec 95,Nagoyia, Japan and Ars Electrionica, Linz, Austria 1996.
The visor is composed of a video camera, transmiters, head mounted displays, batteries, and feather. As mentioned, the machine projects the other vision and sound of the other one's display, it aims to confusing the individual identity of the two "players". Therefore, when the players wearing the helmet, it takes several seconds to let them realize where and who they are, in the process of the " game", they have to find back their body via the vision of another player.
I think the concept of the artwork is bottom-up. On the first level, it is just a game about the exchange of vision and hearing, to the children, it may be just like Hide and Seek. On the second level, it is a game of questioning vision and our individual perception of the world. It is a question of Who am I and how the other see me physically and how you see yourself mentally. As in this fast lane life, it takes no time for people to do self-reflection, and this art work is an alarm calling people to make it,to think about their identities.
