Hand Eye Society Ball 2019: Memento
Look at me gooooooooooooo ๐ธ: Paul Hillier
Y’all, I’m STILL recovering from the Hand Eye Society Ball. Like, oh wow, it was so magical! I get teary-eyed thinking about how you, the community made our 10-year anniversary literally PERFECT! Thanks again to all you hard-working volunteers, fantastic artists, sponsors, friends and ahhh just everyone!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!
Didn’t go to the Ball? Sorry to say, but you missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime event, but I’m sure it won’t be the last… but here’s a recap! โฅ๏ธ
Get Involved!
One of our fantastic sponsors, Game Workers Unite Toronto has a Discord! Apply here! Who is Game Workers Unite? Well:
Game Workers Unite is a broad-reaching organization that seeks to connect pro-union activists, exploited workers, and allies across disciplines, classes, and countriesย in the name of building a unionized game industry.
The organization is run exclusively by workers (non-employers), but we actively encourage employers, academics, and othersย to engage in the community and help support the organization’s direct action efforts both materially and through their visibility.

Thanks for everyone who tried GEMETON at the @HandEyeSociety ball last night.
My goal for this project was for it to be something that everyone could take their own thing away from, and the responses from folks were fantastic.
Big thanks to the Society for having me. ๐ค๐ pic.twitter.com/G1F4uLW60s

It was an honour to yell at the @HandEyeSociety #HESBall19 crowd through a microphone at the stroke of midnight until they danced hard enough to transform a vicious monster into a beautiful garden. As one does.

I was way too busy at the @HandEyeSociety ball to tweet, but here are some progress pics of my +1 shovel! I've never made a foam prop before but I tried my best and being called Shovel Guy all night was suprisingly gratifying ๐๐๐ฟ pic.twitter.com/n2xHwxbQNB

If you had fun playing Light Organ at #HESBall19 / #HESBall / #HESBall2019, and if you have video of yourself playing it (vertical ok) please send them to us so we can put together a nice reel and apply to more things! @HandEyeSociety @fonograph
Also if you're a video editor hmu— Aaron Bernstein (@BernsteinA) September 22, 2019
I had a great time at the @HandEyeSociety Ball last night talking with old friends and new. But now my social batteries are totally drained so it'll be another Sunday spent hermiting. ๐
