I find Inter-Discommunication Machine is very interesting because it break the line of you and me. This work is made by Zazuhiko Hachiya. This work needs video camera, transimitter, head mounted displays, batteries to work with the system. This work is a communication system, you can see what you partner see if you are wearing the those settings. Since your view point is change, you may think that there is a very close interaction between you and your parnter since you can see things through your partner's eye, and your parnter can also see things with your eye, so you may think that who are you when you are using the machine.
I think this machine is very interesting since it break the line of you and me. And i think that this machine may have the idea that everyone should try to think/see in different points of view. Just like in the machine, you are seeing what your parthner see. It may broaden your view. Your point of view may not the only way to look the world, there are so may point of view and shareholders in the issue, trying to think more is very importance.

This is an unusual website if you enter it.
First, in the front page of the website, it reveal some information about a 13-years-old girl's websites. However, if you go deeply to this website, you many find that this websites contain may controversal iissue such as commit suicide (in the page of commit suicide kid), the dead cat, the bloody dinner and even procoke some sexal interaction (the most favourite song). Those things will let you think that what kind of person she is and you will try to think that is it the real identity of the girl, or it just an online identity. And this website can reveal the issue that, nowadays, many people have more than one online identity. Some are they will hide their real emotion and feeling, and just to be a person they are really want to be. It may difficult for you to find is it the real image of the person.

Besides, the content, i will say the colour use of this websites is quite strange, for example, in one page, you can see some hands on the wall and there is an bloody food on the table. Th color use is not harmony, even give you a feeling of fake, so you may think that the identity of this girl may not true.
