contents In Flusserian view of media history, humans often misperceive the world projected by media to be the world itself, leading to a loss of freedom. This paper examines Flusserian Freedom in the context of Mixed Reality (MR) and explores how humans can recognize the obscuration of the world within the media (i.e., MR) and understand their relationship. The authors investigate the concept of playing against apparatus and deliberately alienating the perception of the projected world through an artwork titled "Surrealism Me." This artwork enables the user to have another body within MR through interactive and immersive experiences based on the definition of Sense of Embodiment. The purpose of this work is to raise awareness of the domination of media and to approach Flusserian freedom within contemporary technical arrangements.
