Abstract

There is currently intense interest in the potential of gestural expression as input for human --computer interaction, resembling the role that gesture plays in human to human communication. An interactive artwork, To be or not to be, designed to research gesture and emotional response, was created using a theatrical model of expressive gesture. Excerpts from the works of Augustine and Kant clarify the cognitive categories present in the theatrical model, whilst Wittgenstein's notion of language as a game, establishes the concept of the artwork. The interactor experience was evaluated for coherency and gestural engagement.
