Not to be taken the image from the world, but to pile up the image on the world.


This moving image is an experience of Phillips Design Electric Tattoo. This is more like Media Art than Concept moving image. Watching it, I feel ticklish on my hand. I understand that the image is projected on the hand, however my body may feel that it is directly drawn on the skin. This image is very low resolution, so I must undergo this design work in order to what happens on the skin. But, I have to say that the image will be piled up on our skin and not just 'piled' but 'sticked fast' to our body in the near future. Fujihata Masaki, Media Artist, insists that "we can control the image which is (like) material as if the printings" due to the appearance of the organic electroluminescence(OEL) display. I think that not only OEL but also the projector technology will make the images change the material everywhere. We have taken the image from the world, however will pile up the image on the world. When this would happen, might we feel something material with the image? We "see" the image on the skin and feel ticklish because of seeing. At the same time, our skin may feel nothing. In the future, our body, five senses will be dismembered. Now, our body is becoming loose because we already have watch a lot of images with only touching the plastic mouse. Therefore, a relationship of seeing and touching becomes loose now. However, we can't feel this separation. We have to think why we can't feel that.
