Shin-Shin-Shinwa - new cosmo-techno-mythology is a dance-based outdoor performance questioning the universality of body, technology and god. With an assembled object/structure called tensegrity, known by futurist Buckminster Fuller, dance artist Yohei Hamada attempt to expand the body, as well as the definition of the god.
Chinese thinker Yuk Hui questions the universality of technology by using the term Cosmotechnics. He points out the current technology, which has been believed as universal, is rooted in Greek Mythology. If so, there might be a chance to develop another variation of technology. Hamada believes, animistic cultures which are not rooted in the dogmatic religions and the survivors of those colonisation might have better chance to develop a new variation of technology which is symbiotic and non human-centralised but sustainable for us human beings.
