Business Overview
"Technological Mating Zone - CHIMERIA" is an autonomous zone for bodies that are displaced from the "normal" world based on capitalist systems and human norms by exercising their bodily plasticity through media technology. Participants can enter CHIMERIA by becoming a “Chimera ” with a device given by a“ Doc ”. The chimeras actually lived there, and together with the Builder, they attempted to create a space that could be called "chimericentric." Finally, an exhibition was held to display the traces recorded by the Terminal.

Profile
[Maki Hanagata]
With the reality that being "I" and "human" are being shaken in a technologically accelerating capitalist society, we focus on technologies that relate the body to the world, such as communication systems, wearable devices, and prosthetics, and attempt to make a contemporary "twist of humanity." Major presentations include "Technological Convergence Zone - CHIMERIA" (WHITEHOUSE, Tokyo, 2025), "MOT Annual 2023" (Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, 2023), and "Taipei Arts Festival" (Taipei Performing Arts Center, Taipei, 2023).
