I think this work named Inter-Discommunication Machine made by Kazuhiko Hachiya is the most interesting one.
This work requires two people to put on head-mounted displays concurrently so that one will see image and hear sound from the display that is transmitted from the another device. In other word, sight and sound perception of these two players will be exchanged by the machine and make players feel that they were forcibly put in the dis-connected place.
In fact, Kazuhiko did it on purpose: she wanted to break the border between identities of two people.
This machine impresses me because it break natural barrier of physical and perceptual dependence of mankind and makes it possible for two to exchange the honest perception and sensation between them. I can imagine how I feel after putting on this display: insecure yet surprising. To my belief, people are too adapt to the everyday environment and feel bored and numb towards it, so this tiny machine may help people to take baby step to re look at the world and their role in the society. world.this it
