About and around the perception and interfaces Continuum      　　　　　

Seiko Mikami

 Projects have been making works that involve on human perception. A certain significance called perception -- it is complex and is a subject matter with a too wide area. There is also a reality that we do not understand the thing of our body well yet. In order to approach these, I decided to disassemble these individual senses: seeing, hearing, the sense of touch, and other, and I am advancing the project, making each interface separately. The point of each project was to create the‘interface’set to each perception by elaborating a particular censor mechanism. Meanwhile, my entire project is motivated by a conviction that something like what we call ‘interface’ in the context of computer technology already exists within us. The interface that is composed in each of my projects functions as an extension of what we already have--a network that mediates our subjectivity that synthesizes what we perceive and the world that is perceived. My projects make the audience experience their own state of perceptions. By the ambiguous function of a certain kind especially of consciousness, data are always unsteady and have the realization that it is a thing accompanied by complicated body and brain function as a project is advanced. The inarticulacy which cannot be noticed in 01 of digitized data but it has turned out that it can express more complex by becoming real-time feedback (data which let the body pass). My project is made centering on saying "the interface itself exists inside us". The interface currently used in each project has played a role like the motor which detects between the bodies and space which are perceived. The point is like "the between/ inter-medium" of the information interchange of the perception which takes place there itself or the body which appears in the relation, and space.　Since it is such, I am making the work about sense of sight, sense of hearing, sense of touch and sense of gravity. I have offered to audio and visualized that it is not conventional perception’s function.　Thus my proposition is: “the eye is not merely a thing that sees and the ear is not merely a thing that hears; it is possible for the ear to see, for the nose to hear, and for the eye to touch.”
