MoodBox

MoodBox is a project attempting to reveal our common but not linguistically shared feelings in our everyday life. Our feelings change couple of times throughout the day. My aim is to create a collective system where people can share and watch these feeling patterns which are among all of us. Hopefully those actions will elevate our feelings in general.

I am really interested in datalogging and visualization of information. I am also interested in networks and physical computing which gives us unique oppportunities to achieve those goals. I am also interested in collective experiences, projects play with this.

Questions I am asking with this project:



What if we can log our emotions over time?

What if this log consists of not only our individual data but a collective log of environment we participate in.

In what ways being aware of other people’s emotions affect us?

Could this collectivity create expressions we can perceive? (make us more happy, less tired etc.)
