GESTURE FORM FN.
物件的功能與操作手勢由其形式所連結。過往物件的功能較為單純，透過操作手勢與形式，使用者得以揣測物件的功能為何。然而隨著科技的發展，人們在奢求物品擁有多種功能的同時，卻又希望能以簡單的手勢執行。手勢的簡化與功能的複雜化，使形式產生了斷裂，三者的關係漸趨模糊。功能性被隱藏於物件的形式及單一的手勢之後──按壓按鈕的背後，可能指向著攝影、開啓電視機、照明或是發射洲際飛彈。
滑鼠作為現實與虛擬間的介面，成為一個近乎理想的物件形式──在單一的形式中，透過簡單的點擊手勢可以實現近乎無限的功能。但是當所有功能皆能以相同的手勢操作時，點擊所觸發不同功能的差異是否仍能被人所意識？
透過在觸發不同功能的情境下，改變滑鼠的形式，藉此介入使用者的手勢，喚回手勢與功能性更為複雜的連結。
The functionality of the object and the gesture are linked by its form. In the past, the function of the object was generally simple. Through gestures and forms, the users were able to speculate the function of the object. However, with the development of technology, people started looking for a multifunctional object yet being able to operate with a simple gesture. The simplification of gestures and the complication of functions have led to the collapse of the form, and the relationship between the three has gradually blurred. The functionality is hidden behind the form of the object and a single gesture—behind the press of a button, it may point to taking a photo, turn on the TV, or launch an intercontinental missile.
As the interface between reality and virtuality, the mouse has become an ideal form of objects–under a single form, a simple click can achieve unlimited functions. Yet when all the functions can be operated with the same gesture, can people still be aware of the differences of functions triggered by clicking?
By changing the form of the mouse under different circumstances, we aim to transform the user's gestures, in order to recall the complex connection between gestures and functionality.
