This imposing 4.5-meter-tall pneumatic sculpture made of raw metal depicted a mechanical hand that communicated with the audience through programmed movements. The installation was a direct response to that year\u2019s festival theme: \u201cGreen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"369\" data-end=\"869\">Wieringa based his work on an extensive study of hand gestures and their meanings across different cultures. The hand \u2014 a spontaneous and powerful means of communication in many societies \u2014 was here transformed into both a monument and an invitation to interact. For this occasion, the artist composed a series of choreographed, universally recognizable gestures that invited the audience to express their opinions about the artwork, the festival, and the theme \u201cGreen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"871\" data-end=\"1190\">Hand was installed in the public space of the Witte de Withstraat in Rotterdam and offered a playful yet thought-provoking reflection on monuments, technology, and participation. Mothership acted as producer, working in collaboration with September in Rotterdam (Rotterdam Festivals).<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; inverted_device_order=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;343319&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-108155&#8243; medias=&#8221;6253,6252,6250&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|lightbox|original,icon,caption&#8221; screen_lg=&#8221;1000&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; images_size=&#8221;four-three&#8221; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6251,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[54,60],"class_list":["post-6249","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-sculptures-installations","portfolio_category-wereld-van-de-witte-de-with"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/6249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6249"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/6249\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9382,"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/6249\/revisions\/9382"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spectrum.enterthemothership.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=6249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
