Michel Waisvisz conceived of The Hands in the early 1980s. The Hands are aluminum plates containing touch sensitive keys, thumb pressure sensors, and tilt and proximity sensors, held under a performer's hands with velcro fasteners. Waisvisz' idea was to perform with large overt body motions as well as small fingertip control.
