Description

"Hey, Body" is a speculative design project proposing a fictional future in the 2030s where the practice of "Counter Enquiry" through "Human Body Enquiry Technology" became a new daily information consumption approach. The project speculates human body become a new type of algorithm, operating by the bodily experience stored in the physical flesh.

In the fictional world, people use "Spindle" to access the bodily experience stored in "Node", the repository component inside physical flesh. The Spindle turns the bodily experience into nerve polymers called "Thread", which humans can connect with the digital device to adjust the distance with the digital algorithm.

The speculative project hopes to let the audience reflect on the mediation of digital algorithms in the current context. By proposing human flesh as a counterbalance to digital computation, the project calls for the inquisitive heart in search of the balance point between humans and algorithmic technology.
