"Girls, Media, Home" is an exhibition by students of Ochanomizu Womens' University that assembles a variety of tools and objects and young girls daydream about: mirrors that automatically apply makeup, lamps that alert the user to signs from one's lover... By turns user and researcher, these girls are able to experience the computer of the future in a form completely different to their specific images of what these may be like. This "research" that originates from perfectly normal thoughts and ideas about love and fashion are a clue as to the ubiquitous computing environments of the future.
With the spread of computers, all of us have come to deal with various types of "information"
on a daily basis. Yet from a human-centered perspective, even the instant in which one applies eyeliner in front of a mirror is an example of information processing. In short, the information processed and handled by a normal computer is really only one part of the entire mass of information that humans grapple with daily. The project that this exhibition introduces was born from a small wish and hope, and may amount to nothing more than a humble tool with limited applications. Yet the act of thinking about familiar, accessible interfaces in the various gestures, contexts and situations of everyday life enables the processing of bodily and spatial information through computers and thereby makes possible the dramatic transformation of human capacities for information processing.
