Iris
Cheuk Sze-wing Chloe, Wong Chi-chuen Kenny
Iris is a pair of hands that communicates with participants by hand gestures solely. Through interacting with Iris, audience will then discover and create the language to "talk" with her, which leads to the investigation of human's behavioral codes by manifesting hand gestures in a mischievous manner.
Artist's Statement
Through including human body as context into a digital work, it expresses the merger of the organic and the digital, which can explore the potentials of art through using our bodies. When the interaction of hands is enlarged and projected, it produces dizzying array of unspoken associations to different finger movements and hand gestures. It does not only rediscover the possibilities and complexity of how hand movements can be done, but also creates a new language and specific communication protocol with Iris. The process hence creates a more imaginative, humane and mischievous relationship between Iris and participants.
