Description

Sculpting Data into Everyday Objects is designed, on the one hand, as pure creative experimentation with technical tools, and on the other hand, as exercise in critical thinking and conceptual strategy. The ultimate goal of this course for each student, in attempting to converge these two processes, to develop a dual attitude towards technology that will empower them to master any tool as a vehicle for expression.

Description

Web-Physical prototype that helps users to keep journal their emotional states by putting them as “color” onto the map while they take pictures. Colors of dots are based on the activeness and value of positive or negative emotions that are analyzed by change of facial values – eyebrow width/height, mouth width/height.
