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 behavioural codes by manifesting hand gestures in a mischievous manner.

Learning hands

Iris is responsive to the audience’s hand gestures when they put theirs inside a designated device. Their hands are then detected and analysed. The gestures are scrutinised and responded by an array of rules that audience may explore through communication. Since the installation keeps learning different combinations of hand gestures by recording to a database on the Internet, it will keep expanding persistently.
