Proprioception is a technical term which means the awareness of the positions of your body parts. This sense enables us to, for example, touch our noses in the total darkness.

Rotative Sculpture
Rotative Sculpture is made of a metal wire embedded in a wooden rod. The stepper motor rotates the rod and the wire. Although the wire is just rotating, it makes an illusion that the wire is bending and transforming. The illusory transformation of Rotative Sculpture can be associated with the feeling of streching, bending and twisting the body elastically.
Arm Machine
The two servo motors in Arm Machine can be associated with a shoulder and an elbow.

Dislocation clock by Poetic Lab
Dislocation clock by Poetic Lab (2010) is a wall clock where the centre of the rotating pivot is shifted to the middle of the long (minute) clock hand. Due to the unique position of the pivot, there appears a sense of acrobatic lightness as if showing a moment of a gymnast playing a horizontal bar and bending and stretching his/her body skilfully.
