This my fellow Escapists is a mechanical tumor made by Japanese interactive media artist Mio I-zawa and it plugs into your computer and it monitors your CPU. "But does it do anything?" you may ask and of course the answer is no if you don't count how it pulsates and grows as your computer works harder.

For those of you who want to see this bad boy in action the video below me should quell your strange fantasies. Even though this is by far the most disgusting thing I can plug into my computer, I can't help but want a version that either researches cancer (so I can feel better on blowing money on this) or oozes fluid. Here's the video for those sceptics out there.

I can't imagine how bored someone would have to be to think of something like this.

Wow, that's... absolutely disgusting.

Whoever made this is one sick puppy.

So here we have another example of what I like to call the "Jurassic Park" effect, where someone becomes so obsessed whether or not they can do something, they don't put any thought into whether or not they should. Yeah, I know. It's "Art".

I mean obviously there's room in the world for things that don't make sense, just for the reason that they don't make sense.

Like Platypuses or Celine Dion.


What's next, a hard drive that produces phlegm? A video card that acts like a spleen? How about a cooling system that looks like a pair of lungs?

Personally I think the only value the "Mechanical Tumor" would have is if you had it inside your machine with the side panel unscrewed (loose) and asked your significant other to go turn it on after telling them about this new, biological virus that has somehow made its way onto the internet, infecting computers with what can only be described as an actual TUMOR or some other equally freaky back story, then watching in glee as they shit their pants when the tumor starts to expand out the side of your machine, knocking off the pre-loosened panel and creating nightmare fodder for years to come. Oh, the sadistic pleasure of it all...

Not that I put any thought into that or anything.

I'm still waiting for laser guided USB foam-rocket launchers to hit the market...
