About works

The discrimination I suffered while studying abroad led me to withdraw into the Internet, and I began to deal with my body as a theme. From the time I was in elementary school, I had been pretending to be someone I am not online and anonymously slandering my classmates' blogs, so it was natural for me to have different personalities online and offline. Today, our identities are heavily influenced by technology such as social networking sites. There, the body is also a kind of communication, but it is also an interface for technology. This activity examines ways to deal with the body that will be with us until death.
