Millie Trainer Hands

thingiverse

Millies future trainers were taken over by a Jiin and became mutants. Millie combined mesh from a trainer with sculpted hands using SculptGL. This was part of the Prototype Camp at FACT Liverpool in October 2017. Young people responded to the Designing Desire exhibition and the installation 'She Who Sees the Unknown', a reading room featuring images and text from middle eastern mythologies surrounding Jiin's. The jinniya (female jinn) focused on by Allahyari's work for Designing Desire, Aeisheh Ghediseh (or Aisha), creates a crack in the male body as a sexual and erotic way to transform him into another being. She forces him to act as a conduit between worlds when she possesses a man. She does not completely take over the new host but opens him to a storm of incoming jnun, jinns, and sorcerous particles of all kinds; making the man a gate for new demons, for sweeping cosmic data. This is why she is feared. She never leaves - she always resides in the man to guarantee his total openness, which is not always pleasant. FACT's Learning Programme experiments with the notion of the art-tech centre as an expanded classroom for lifelong learning, a space for critical dialogues, artistic experiences, and social dreaming.
