Kimiko Yoshida | Self-Portraits

Artist Kimiko Yoshida makes self-portraits. In fact she has done more than 330 self-portraits. Each more impressing and odd than the other.

Kimiko Yoshida was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1963 and left her home country, as a result of feeling the oppression against women. She now lives in Europe and has since 1995.

Clockman

Ok, so this new japanese alarmclock is a pretty scary weird invention.

“Clockman” is made by the japanese toy maker Takara Tomy. The talking alarm clock has different expressions and comes to life when activated, moving its face in various expressions and talking to the user. Even more strange, each “Clockman” represent a different blood type, A, B, O and AB. The clocks make comments based on the user’s blood type, so essentially the clock will wake you up in the morning in way that works best for your blood type.

So far the concept is only available in japanese and doesn’t include a blood test.
