Quick Reflection: w/ Ellen Nickles

After a quick introduction to my thesis topic during Recode class, Ellen showed me some articles and projects that related to my topic after class:

1. AI ‘emotion recognition’ can’t be trusted: The belief that facial expressions reliably correspond to emotions is unfounded, says a new review of the field. (It includes a link to a research paper that I also cited, “Emotional Expressions Reconsidered: Challenges to Inferring Emotion From Human Facial Movements.”)
2. ITP project from several years ago, part installation and part performance: https://winnieyoe.com/Smile-Please-1
3. The work of Duchenne from the 1800s–researching for the universal human facial expression is not new. See the “The Mechanism of Human Facial Expression” in the Wikipedia entry here and his original text: https://archive.org/details/mechanismofhuman0000duch/mode/2up

Really appreciate and truly inspired me a lot about the experience that I can provide and the history of facial expressions.
