Artificial Ocnophilia

The artistic research Artificial Ocnophilia is a foray into the philosophical and technological implications of hands today, relying on multiple graphics processing units to render hypothetical pictorial representations of these famously difficult to depict organs and extract three dimensional, speculative derivations using two-dimensional data sets. Artificial Ocnophilia dissolves the familiar functions and movements of hands, instrumentalizing the originative and iterative nature of artificial intelligence in order to generate questionably human hands engaged in a series of communal but mysterious gestures in suggestively close proximity to one another, attempting to hold onto one another in a perpetual state of unknown.
