It is common for people to express themselves through social media, but when emotional states are expressed, perception of ‘real’ feelings often diverge from what is stated. This project uses this often unintentional obfuscation as a ‘site’ for a series of interventions on the body, and in space.
A fully interactive installation responds locally via LED’s so that a user is fully immersed in positive feedback loop of their own emotions and that of a host city, a moment of revelation. There are over three hundred LEDs and IR receivers placed in the installation that detects feelings and social media feeds, when your emotions change, it responds.
The cross relationships of the project serve as an embodiment of the emotional states of the body and city. We want, for a moment, for a user to be discreetly aware of the emotional condition of themselves and people around them. So, we invite users take off disguises, step inside EMO and meet your true self and the city around you.
