Do The Face Dance

By Jill Harness in Art, Everything Else, Music, Science & Tech, Video Clips on Dec 3, 2008 at 9:17 pm

Daito Manabe is a Japanese artist and programer who has figured out a way to make his face involuntarily dance to music: by using electricity. Each beat hits a different part of his face with a quick shock. The result is disturbing, yet highly entertaining.

    I went in with some back pain to the Korean acupuncturist day before yesterday. In between the needles, the massage with a freaking rolling pin, and these bleeding inducing suction cups, they put these heavy pads on my back. At first I thought they were mechanically massaging me. Then I realized..shit! They were just juicing the hell out my my back, making my whole back flop around like a fish! It was the most unusual sensation. Not unpleasant exactly..in fact, kind of nice. But strange. One way or the other, the whole session made my back feel 100 times better :)

    Why is his forehead all blurry when it moves? Hmm? And why are his lips moving when there’s no wires going there? It’s artistic representation, not real. Neat, though.

    I wonder if this is what happens underneath the calm, placid exterior of the Rejuvenique face mask.

    its probably the wires on his chin that end up moving his lips…. can’t say for sure though

    This looks painful. And I can’t for one think this’ll be good for his face in the short term as pulling a face muscle would certainly suck.

    I liked when the first jolt makes him flinch a lot more that the following shocks

    Johnny Cat – maybe the uadio and video are out of sync for you? It’s a common YouTube problem.
    I’d like to see him do “Flight of the Bumblebee”.

    Looks like an auto-Milgram experiment.

    As he went through this I got a mixed sense of emotions from me and him.
    MINE
    He’s Crazy.
    He’s Genius.
    I have to barf.

    HIS
    High
    retarded
    In pain
    zoned out
    scared.

    I also ernjoyed how the shocks basicly pinched his face in certen possitions.

    Looking at some comments on a different site it seems like the sound comes from his facial movements, not the other way around

    Love it!

    It seems like the opposite of the Safety Dance, though.

    Awesome – great idea, but how does one come up with that?
