Description

Sign language is a different way of communication and it is a special language. This way of communication is silent. When I see people using sign language, I feel sign language is very mysterious, and it is very beautiful.In this project, I am trying to interpret sign language in an artistic way. I used sign language to create music and visuals so that I can provide musical performance for the audience. This project aims to combine touch, visual, and auditory to create a multi-dimensional sensation for users when they use sign language.
