Just when you think you've seen it all. This is a music video, produced by Hiromi Ozaki, about a boy named Takashi who wants to know what it's like to be a cute girl. Yes, of course he dresses up, but his transformation does not stop at lipstick and pumps. He actually wears a machine fitted with electrodes and a blood dispenser to understand what it's like to menstruate with cramps. It's all set to a poppy beat, in true Japanese fashion.
I don't know about you, but I know what I'll be getting some of my guy friends for the holidays!
Hiromi's video is part of the 2010 show for Design Interactions, a department in London's Royal College of Art which "explores new roles, contexts and approaches for design in relation to the social, cultural and ethical impact of existing and emerging technologies." The program is intended to explore the human consequences, both positive and negative, of different technological futures.
