Hand From Above was executed by Chris O’Shea and joint co-commissioned by FACT: Foundation for Art & Creative Technology, the Liverpool City Council for BBC Big Screen Liverpool, and the Live Sites Network. It premiered during the inaugural Abandon Normal Devices Festival.
Here’s a quote about the project:
“Hand From Above encourages us to question our normal routine when we often find ourselves rushing from one destination to another. Inspired by Land of the Giants and Goliath, we are reminded of mythical stories by mischievously unleashing a giant hand from the BBC Big Screen. Passers by will be playfully transformed. What if humans weren’t on top of the food chain? Unsuspecting pedestrians will be tickled, stretched, flicked or removed entirely in real-time by a giant deity.”
