IDEA - INSTALLATION PLAN

FINGER / HAND ALPHABET PROJECT

This project inspired me to pursue the idea of hand gestures some more, i have drawn up a rough example of how a potential idea of mine might work:
The idea is that the person must interact with the symbolic hand gestures put on each TV screen, using these gestures the person can navigate around the game in a different interactive way. Each gesture will try to mislead you the wrong way, however there are correct routes you can take in order to win the game.

This idea explores the concept of storytelling, mixing traditional (hand / sign languages) with more contemporary (digital / television) methods of interactivity.

As stated this is only a brief idea, I have also considered using the alphabetic hand symbols to navigate around the installation; this would involve the user practically learning a new culture, adapting to new interaction as quickly as possible before the game ends within it's time limit.

PS/ This idea also relates to my studies into Eisenstein - "Film can control thinking" - See Sketchbook > Idea development > Idea 1: Film Can Control Thinking
