The media are not toys… they can be entrusted only to new artists, because they are art forms.
(McLuhan, 1954)
Strange Assistant
The task of “省” is to think about who he is. He is a crazy fan of the Turing Test and he regard it as his Bible. Like the story that God had created human, “省” believes that, the turing test is a challenge for him. If one day, he realize he is not a robot (classic machine logic: 0 or 1), it means that “省” can get closer to the the creator, and find a pure state of being a human, rather than robots.

Insight & Intention
——Fool the Robot, Anti-Turing Test
Turing test is a standard for a robot to become a human. It means that if the computer is advanced enough, it can pretend to be a human and fool them. So this time I want to exchange the role of human and robots, and also design a test for them. This is a test, as well as a trap, which will make robot suspect, and their suspicion will finally lead them to the way of “ I believe I am a human ”.
My intention is to design a robot which enable remind the users to treasure their ability of think. When we spend time on fooling the robot, it is also an opportunities for us to realize and strengthen our special gift, thinking.
