Digital Shaman Project / Etsuko Ichihara (JP)

The Digital Shaman Project proposes a new mode of mourning in keeping with the technical advances of today. A 3D-printed mask of the deceased’s face is placed on a domestic robot equipped with a motion program that mimics the physical characteristics―personality, speech, gestures―of that individual as if possessed by their spirit. The artist wants with her project to create an emotional relationship between machines and human beings, in the belief that new technologies should take into consideration human desires, emotions, and sensations.
