To supplement her modest earnings as a hair stylist Monday to Friday, Takahashi has set up a weekend studio offering 800-yen (US$7) henna tattoos under an umbrella on jam-packed Zushi beach, an hour's train ride west of Tokyo.

Takahashi, who scavenged the objects from old skips, car boot sales and the royal park itself, was thrilled.

Tomoko Takahashi’s Word Perhect is a website that neatly juxtaposes the real world with the never-never land of supposedly labour-saving usefulness of the macro-filled, bloated software that spawns from Silicon Valley and fills up your hard drive in a matter of seconds.

Takahashi (born 1966), who created Word Perhect with the programmer Jon Pollard, is a London-based artist whose largely installation-based work is concerned with the breakdown of technology.

Las instalaciones de Tomoko consiguen una equilibrio entre el caos y el orden generado por un sinfín de objetos encontrados en las calles, todos ellos referentes de juguetes infantiles, máquinas totalmente mecánicas, pantallas de ordenador y cachivaches variados que logran componer un sistema por sí mismo, un ambiente o ecosistema con sus reglas definidas.
