Her drawings and installations represent mental maps, an investigation of the mind’s peculiar ways of organizing memories. Very elegant installations.

The Murasaki-bot
Ah, the first robot that doesn’t creep me out. Created by the folks over at Kyoto University’s Robo-Garage, this foot-tall ‘bot will “read” you Murasaki Shikibu’s classic and oft-considered oldest novel in existence, The Tale of Genji, thanks to the MP3 player inside. It’ll also draw you deeper into the story with subtle movements and how its styled after a Japanese noblewoman (such as Murasaki herself), with a kimono, traditional headress and a fan it’s able to hide up its sleeve.
