人と交流するのが苦手な理系女子「ジェニー」。ツイッターやフェイスブックで同世代の子達が盛んに交流する２０１１年、馴染めないジェニーだけは強い疎外感を感じていた。そんなジェニーは、彼女のバイオロジー研究ラボの教授の論文を見ながらカラスと会話の出来るロボット「カラスボット」を開発してしまう。こっそりラボでシミュレーションをしながら人間以外の異動物種との交流を試みるジェニーは．．．？
作品詳細は http://sputniko.com/blog/crowbotjenny...
Crowbot Jenny, inspired by Donna Haraway's philosophical memoir When Species Meet (2007), is a solitary girl who, despite her generation's tendency toward communication overload, has trouble relating to her peers. In fact, Crowbot Jenny prefers to talk with animals and uses the Crowbot, an instrument that replicates a range of crow calls, to commune with her army of birds. Sputniko! collaborated with crow specialists from University of Cambridge (UK), University of Utsunomiya (Japan) and University of Tokyo (Japan) who provided her with sample crow calls which she installed inside Crowbot. From that collaboration she learned that crows are capable of advanced social communication, and even of reading other animals' minds. Crowbot Jenny contemplates the potential of cross-species interaction, suggesting a scenario in which technology lets us, as the artist says, "re-realize the urban animals surrounding us.

We seem to see many examples of beautiful and young girl-robots enthusiastically developed by the world's top robotic scientists! - so what if our designed intelligent machines are not too happy with the way we designed them?
In the tradition of Nyotai Mori, an age old Japanese practice of serving Sushi on naked women, Sushiborg Yukari is a cyborg designed to serve Sushi on her rotating belt, entertaining over-worked Japanese businessmen in their after-hours.
When Yukari's programmed intelligence develops enough to understand her functionality as a sex object, she struggles to accept her role - slowly, Yukari attaches knives to her own body, modifying herself to become a lethal weapon, plotting to one day escape the Sushi restaurant she now feels captive with in...

It's 2010, so why are humans still menstruating?
As a female artist I had one intriguing question I wanted to solve.
When the contraceptive pill first became commercially available in the 1960s, it was deliberately designed to have a pill-free, menstruating week every month. This was because the doctors felt that users would find having no periods too worrying and unacceptable. 50 years have passed since then, and modern technology has accomplished even more -- space travel, mobile phones, internet, cloning and genetically modified foods -- but women are still bleeding. New pills such as Lybrel and Seasonique, which reduce the frequency of menstruation to none or 4 times a year have recently been developed, but they are not yet widely used.
For example in Japan, it only took the Ministry of Health only 6 months to approve Viagra, but it took them more than 9 years to approve the contraceptive pill in 1999 (which was approved 3 months after the approval of Viagra). It is quite clear that the advancement of technology can be heavily influenced by political, social and cultural backgrounds of the time.
So what does Menstruation mean, biologically, culturally and historically, to humans? Who might choose to have it, and how might they have it? The Menstruation Machine -- fitted with a blood dispensing mechanism and electrodes simulating the lower abdomen -- simulates the pain and bleeding of a 5 day menstruation process. The machine was developed with research support from Professor Jan Brosens at the Department of Medicine, Imperial College London.
The music video features a Japanese transvestite boy Takashi, who one day chooses to wear 'Menstruation' in an attempt to biologically dress up as a female, being unsatisfied by just aesthetically appearing female. He builds and wears the machine to fulfill his desire to understand what the period feels like for his female friends. The music video was posted on Youtube to trigger reaction from a wide audience outside of the traditional gallery environment. The video was immediately posted on influential blogs including Wired, Gizmodo and Boing Boing, and the story of Takashi's desire to have menstruation created a viral frenzy of debates, resulting in 100000 Youtube hits in mere one week.
