A faint touch. Who was that? Is that? By enabling visitors to experience the unusual sensations provoked by bodily illusions, this artistic work explores the delicate boundary between our seemingly stable percept of an embodied self, and a self that is disrupted by technology. The installation is equally inspired by clinical observations of disembodiment, presence hallucinations, and other altered states of consciousness \u2013 and experimental neuroscientific investigations using virtual reality and robotics bringing to surface the fundamental brain mechanisms underlying bodily self-consciousness.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tube.switch.ch\/embed\/a8133403?title=hide\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"576\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Self-identification<\/strong><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"238\" height=\"134\" class=\"wp-image-5080\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"http:\/\/immersivelab.zhdk.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/> Do I recognize myself in the mirror, or does the mirror tells me what I look like?
