The chorus of the gesture is an interactive installation that features a choirof deaf people
using sign language to express themselves.

Theuser hasto take the place of the choral lead and to interact with the image with a sensitive wand.
The user hand movementthat occurs with the stickwill control the choir and thus determine whetherit
interprets thesong as a group or as a solo.

The use of acommon language that the userdoes not control, acts as a triggerin the realization

of information transmission.
