“Huge Harry” is a lecture/ performance by computational persona Huge Harry, the president and spokesmachine of the IAAA (Institute of Artificial Art Amsterdam). In this lecture Huge Harry discusses his latest research findings on the computer-human relationship. Harry demonstrates on a live subject (Elsenaar’s wired face) the unique capabilities of human-to-human facial communication and how the human face can be deployed to enhance computer-to-human communication.
