Glass hand x Printed circuit x Empty smartphone
A transparent hand, filled with printed circuitry, holds an immaculate smartphone—yet the screen is blank. No app. No notification. No signal.
This synthetic body-part, part-prosthesis, part-avatar, is not simply a hand: it’s an interface. Designed for the gesture of grasping the device, its entire architecture serves the object it holds. But what happens when the object is hollowed out?
By exposing the internal wiring and rendering the phone as a void, Handroid questions who holds what—or whom. Is the hand using the phone, or is the phone defining the hand? The piece echoes our current state of symbiosis: where the body becomes optimized for digital consumption, and the tool becomes the master.
The future is already here, and it’s holding on tight.
