target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LINK<\/a>: &#8220;This experiment is a response to the video Hand Talk below, and how we use our hands to gesture, express ourselves and communicate. In addition we saw this as an opportunity to capture elegant movement and feminineness, inspired by our meeting with Charlie, a professional dancer. A process of progressive prototyping began, in which each model was shaped and balanced based on how Holly used the previous and how she felt about it. The aim was to create a hand that would become more and more animated and behave like it belonged to Holly\u2019s other hand, as an extention of her own movement and without using electronics. All these occasions were captured on film. In total 30 prototypes were made, numbered 1-30.\u00a0This resulted in experimental hand #8.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/tumblr_l4ny3yFJkf1qar2d6o1_500.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7264\" src=\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/tumblr_l4ny3yFJkf1qar2d6o1_500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/tumblr_l4ny3yFJkf1qar2d6o1_500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/tumblr_l4ny3yFJkf1qar2d6o1_500-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/gesturehand1.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/gesturehand1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/gesturehand2.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/gesturehand2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_89629\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lKNWo2TjfPE?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I continue to perform new developments also along this line.
