My Other Bodies (Writer)

My Other Bodies (Writer) is an autonomous writing machine that generates endless streams of text. Housed in a haunted foam typewriter that suggests both technological waste and organic form, the machine operates continuously, producing an unending scroll of generated text. The thermal printer (a technology associated with receipts and transactions) transforms the act of writing into a mechanical, ambient process.

The work presents a series of commands like “Grab my hand”, “Touch my leaves”, “Eat the oven” that treat body parts, household objects and mechanical bodies with equal intensity, creating a disturbing equivalence between human anatomy and the objects that surround us. The body becomes fragmented and scattered across digital networks, no longer a whole entity but a collection of parts that can be disassembled, scanned, and reconfigured.

The poem’s structure explores the osmosis between outer and inner. Beginning with seemingly innocent invitations to touch and connect, the work gradually shifts toward more intense imagery such as boiling hands and eaten televisions. What emerges is a haunting vision of intimacy in the digital age, where the simple act of touching a screen carries both erotic charge and existential threat. The work’s clinical yet dreamlike aesthetic captures the anxiety beneath our smooth interfaces, suggesting that to be human in the future means to exist in constant negotiation with our technological extensions.

Through its relentless operation and unsettling juxtapositions, the machine becomes a meditation on embodiment itself, exploring how consciousness and identity are distributed across networks of flesh, object, architecture, sensors and code.
