Masahiko Sato
In recent years, a number of individual-identifying technologies and measures have been developed rapidly, and are now used in a variety of contexts in our day-to-day life, to prevent crimes and also to help us lead a more comfortable life. This, in turn, means that we are heading into a society where our identities, such as our fingerprints and veins, have their own wings, divorced from their original owners, i.e., ourselves.
This exhibition will introduce new pieces that leverage interactive devices and cutting-edge technologies, as well as existing pieces that reveal something intrinsic about ourselves. Through a number of hands-on exhibits, a blend of scientific technologies and art works by designers and artists from both Japan and overseas, the exhibition aims to create an opportunity for the visitors to identify their undeniable “self.”
