Tools, which are designed to serve mankind, aim to design human abilities over again.

Something records, something broadcasts. There are memories of augmented experiences between these two steps. On an infinite white desk, with the help of familiar interfaces, design dissolves in the life cycle. After all, are we still human or have we already extended our senses by various media?

The new kind steps forward from the beginning of time.
