According to Flusser Vilém, gestures can be described as “expressions of intention” via
the movement of the body or of the tools connected to the body, hence the observation
of such gestures allow us to “decipher” how we exist in the world. Born in the computer
age and having studied computer graphics, I grew an only stronger attachment to
computers and digital devices. Therefore, it’s significant for me and people who are like
me to observe our behaviors, and decode the change in our gestures as one way to
understand our current existential conditions.
