A workshop series led by artist MORIWAKI Hiroyuki to reflect on “Computers and Me.” Through interviews with experts deeply involved in computer culture (such as the founder of the users group JUG, NISHIDA Masaaki, and artist IWAI Toshio), through open classes where computers were disassembled to reveal their structures, and through a workshop for the production of an “original” computer, this workshop series reconsidered the relation between self and computer and returned to the basic question of what precisely a computer is. The programs strove for a rich communication between the participants with regular use of the ICCnet (BBS) and the Internet, the processes of which were also presented. Plans for an “original” computer were worked out mainly among the open class’ participants in both an ICCnet talk room and an off-line exchange of opinions. What was developed was not a personal computer assembled out of basic component parts, but a computer that would respond to human actions, a “human-powered computer.” It was named the “King of Drives.” The “King of Drives” was loaded onto a rickshaw and a “king” (participant) outfitted with a polygraph and IBVA (Interactive Brainwave Visual Analyzer) connected to the “King of Drives,” pedaled the rickshaw. The “King of Drives” measured changes in the “driver’s” psychological condition, allowing the participant to experience bodily what it means to communicate with a computer.
