A Self-Portrait Machine

By John Farrier in Art, Science & Tech on Jul 25, 2009 at 6:43 pm

Jen Hui Liao created a machine that will take a picture of the user, and then guides his/her hands to draw the image on paper. Liao says:

I found some the relationship between human and machine are amazing and could be horrible (like this one that shows how we human invent machines then put human inside to it to manufacture goods), The final object – A machine is a miniature of what I understand through the process of research, and the aim of the machine is to let people have a chance to feel the condensed process of how we generate our self identity from external point of view as from the society, which is a big machine we all in.
