1. Phantom Recorder/ Revital Cohen
Revital Cohen designs speculative, metaphysical objects that examine the relationship between the natural and artificial. 
New perspective of body and mind. 
I am interested in new perspective of body and mind. There is a strong relationship between body, mind and sensation. Also, technology can make us communicate/ interact/ reveal / share the sensation of the phantom limb, which never experience unless you have. What is real? How can you judge physical being only exist? 

2. Call Me, Choke Me. / Gunnar Green
This device, a collar designed to be worn around the neck, ties mobile-phone activity to the practice of erotic asphyxiation.
In contemporary world, it is easy to communicate, but it is hard to pay attention or the communication affects you. Communication become super easy and virtual, which people think that you are safe with communication tool, like mobile phone. This work is about physical transformation of communication effect by private and sexual transition with pleasure and pain. 

3. Talk to Yourself Hat. / Kate Hartman
The Talk to Yourself Hat transmit sounds from one's mouth directly into one's ears via a conspicuous, trunk-like tube. 
1) I am always curious that I never be familiar with my voice. When I hear my voice in voice mail or sound recorder, it is always strange. So, just listening to my voice is interesting experience. 
2) Also, Talk to Yourself and listen to my own voice can be a way to understand myself. What I really want to do? What is my voice, what is my social and political stand point? What I want to hear most? Can you ignore that how other people think who you are? 
What happen if everybody talk to themselves, not to other people? It is very interesting to think about other possibilities of communication rather than I  and You communication. 

4. Muttering Hat / Kate Hartman
With the Muttering Hat, Hartman envisions extracting "the noise of the thought process and put it into physical form." Understanding the process of brain and listening to the sound of thought is a new way to understand human body and mind. In body, there is a system, which you have information with your sense, and process in brain, and react or express with your face, mouth, hands or other body. 
What if we can make various ways of input and output rather than one way? What if we can see, hear, smell, touch, taste the abstract though process?
