About Hand Still 主要功能：參與式藝術項目

Hand Still 係一個為提升身心健康而創作嘅參與式藝術項目。參與者將自己嘅手掌同手指組合起嚟，擺出風景或者生物嘅造型，影低個姿勢，為圖像改個名，然後用一個共同標籤將成果分享去社交網絡。透過欣賞其他人分享嘅作品同創作新嘅作品，旨在提升創意。Hand Still 運用咗四個同身心健康相關嘅元素：自我實現同成長、連結同感恩、正面同樂觀嘅態度，以及獨立同自我認同。

Unique Properties: Hand Still is participatory art to improve well-being.
Anyone around the world can participate by sharing their own hand-expressed artwork on social networking sites. By viewing and enjoying the artwork and creating your own artwork, you can improve your wellbeing.
Hand Still includes the four factors for improving wellbeing (1: Self-Actualization and Growth, 2: Connection and Gratitude, 3: Positive and Optimistic, 4: Independence and Self-identity) are incorporated.
Dimensions & Packaging: Hand Still is a participatory art activity project utilizing SNS.
The rule of the project is that users themselves take a picture of a hand or finger pose they have thought up, decide on a title for the work, and post it on a SNS. We hope to spread the activity and encourage participation rather than appreciation. We assume that the main platforms will be Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Production Technology: Hand Still uses the "System Design Methodology for Intentionally Creating Well-being" lectured at Keio University Graduate School in Japan. It includes.
The four factors that improve well-being, as presented by well-being researcher "Takashi Maeno," are incorporated. It also includes ways to enhance wellbeing by increasing creativity from the "Study on Beauty and Well-Being.
Design Challenge: Research and activities related to well-being are said to be difficult to demonstrate their effectiveness. This is because the effects vary from person to person and it is difficult to conduct research over time. Considering these factors, the scope of this project is narrowed down to "the moment of encountering a work of art" as the target of research. We were able to show through the questionnaire that this approach had a certain effect.
Research: Hand Still was born out of the Keio Graduate School's "Well-Being Management" program, a type of well-being research. The purpose was to create an unprecedented method of promoting well-being. This method was based on a survey of 82 people collected through social networking services. The results showed that 71% of the people who viewed the work were able to enhance their creativity. In addition, 15.5% of the respondents took the same action as the artwork.
Inspiration: Well-being is now the focus of attention due to the changing values of humankind.
As the era has progressed from economic growth to spiritual growth, the well-being industry is expected to grow. Against this background, "Hand Still" was born from a well-being management class at Keio University Graduate School (SDM) in Japan.
Well-being is expected to have various effects. For example, people who are well-being have a longer life expectancy of 10 years, higher productivity, and so on.
Project Duration: The project began in September 2021 and was presented on campus in January 2022; as of March 2022, the project is still active.
Operation Flow: How to participate in Hand Still
1.Imagine a landscape or creature by combining your hands and fingers.
2. Take a photograph of the imagined pose.
3.Think of a title for the photo.
4.Post the photo on SNS with the title and the tag "Hand Still.
