Menstruation Machine is a design fiction project by Sputniko! (Hiromi Ozaki). A menstruation simulator belt was created which dispenses blood and applies pressure to the lower abdomen as a way to question how menstruation and women’s health is viewed in our society. The artist was interested in the political, social and cultural backgrounds that influence our sexual health, such as how fast ED pills like Viagra for males get passed by health organizations versus contraceptive pills for females. A video was also created in which a transvestite boy wears the Menstruation Machine as a way to understand the female body beyond the visual transformation of applying makeup and wearing feminine clothes.
