Janken 2005   
 

Janken is the Japanese word for the common game known in the US as Rock-Paper-Scissors. Roughly translated, it means hand game but also implies fist, strike and gambling. Janken presents two aspects: when interacted with, it engages the viewer with a very familiar hand gesture game. Without human interaction, it reverts to the performance of a random and unfamiliar sign language.

Janken was shown at COLLISIONseven, 2nd chance, MIT Stata Center Gallery, Cambridge, MA, Apr 23 to May 08, 2005
