Human Emotion - 2015

"Human Emotion" compiles portions of faces displaying emotions together with images of hands on a projected display. A user is invited to record their emotions. Once they are finished the lead computer relays a message to the other two computers to tell them to all display, in unison, the specific emotion requested by the user. Random parts of that user along with archived displays of the same emotion are played in unison. (Team includes Rowan Burkam, diana ishak, Pat Pataranutaporn, Nora Welthy, and Tom Trauberman)

"Interacting with this project interchanges parts of the observer’s visage with the facial features of others in a constantly changing digital tapestry of humans and their emotions."
