This project aims to represent the connection between two people through physical touch. Through physically touching the two wire people together, the circuit completes itself to glow an LED. The design itself was meant to hide the underlying circuitry to emphasize the connection of the two wire armatures. The materials chosen were aluminum wire, a white LED, a half-sized breadboard, alligator clips, and a warm-toned wood. The aluminum wire allows the user to bend and manipulate the gestures while still allowing a current to pass through. The white LED was picked to allow higher visual contrast between the light and the dark aluminum, and metaphorically opens the work to more people; it establishes a connection as something without color. Logistically, the breadboard was used to hide the internals, while the alligator clips were the only consistent way to connect the non-solderable aluminum to the circuit. The warm-toned wood is meant to represent the warm connection created. The form of the two gestures also lacks detail, each with one arm to create a juxtaposition that the user can recognize. This is meant to lead the user tomake these two "arms" to touch.
