Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2004. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 86). / "Seeing the Future, Speaking to the Past" is a collective documentation of the projects which I produced during the time at MIT. Through my experiences as a foreigner, I have become interested in global nomadic behavior and it's effect on the socio-psychological experiences of individuals and the development of new social formations. In my projects, I attempt to address the issues of alienation, disorientation, and cultural marginality by using video images of performative activities and the deployment of prosthetic devices. Repetition and absurdity are elements that I utilize to encounter the boundaries between detachment and social engagement, perception and imagining, announcement and silence, interrogation and defiance. Through my experiences as a global nomad, I create new vehicles that bridge the disparate cultures I encounter. / by Hiroharu Mori. / S.M.
