Our hands are one of the most powerful, complex and versatile means of physical interaction in existence. They are the means by which instruments come alive and become an expression of our ideas, moods and feelings. They are a part of the body that enable us to control machines and transform elements. But they also have another facet which is perhaps less well known: hands generate shapes. In this workshop, we will look at this ability, and interact with various image and sound management mechanisms (software and hardware) which make it possible to create mosaics, textures and visual and sound effects based on shape recognition. This process will be open to participation by visitors, and to the ideas contributed by those involved in the workshop.
