How does a protocol look like from a hand’s point of view? How do my hands and other people’s hands function during the same protocol? What kind of space is being generated onto the laboratory bench during a protocol?
Using a simple wearable prototype to capture live footage from both hands, five volunteers executed a zebrafish toxicity assay. The captured imagery was particularly challenging in terms of reconstructing the performed protocol and clearly showed the different approaches taken by the performers.
For the SOWOHLALSAUCH festival, I displayed the captured footage inside a 'kijkdoos' (peep box); a voice over of the performed protocol is overlay with comments of the performers while executing the protocol.
