The Augmented Hand Series – Playful, dreamlike and uncanny

Created by Golan Levin, Chris Sugrue, and Kyle McDonaldThe Augmented Hand Series is a real-time interactive software system that presents playful, dreamlike, and uncanny transformations of its visitors’ hands. The project explores interrelations of hand, mind and identity and is designed as 'an instrument for probing or muddling embodied cognition' using a 'direct manipulation' interface and the suspension of disbelief to further problematize the mind-body problem'. Originally conceived in 2004, the project was developed at the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry in 2013-2014 through a commission from the Cinekid Festival of children’s media.
