Description

Fragrant Discourse is an interactive installation that proposes an alternate method of experiencing data analyses; it presents a possible future where an amplification of senses and perception related to big data analyses and the way that communication networks enable a planetary consciousness. Through tools such as node-red and the Arduino Yun, Fragrant Discourse presents a method in which users can build new interpretive languages of public forum sentiment through visual and olfactory senses.

User speech input is used to search Twitter for tweets regarding the term or phrase topic. Inside node-red, I am able to analyze the Twitter information and display the sentiment and emotion analysis via LEDs and scent diffusers.

Description

This is an interactive installation that depicts the relationship between positivity and progress using the speech library and sentiment analysis.Growth and progress are reflected in each additional branch added to the tree.

The p5 sketch will depict a seedling that will progress or regress depending on the users’ input. Using the built in microphone, users are able to talk to the budding seedling. If the tree intakes words deemed positive, the seedling will continue to grow. However, if only negative terms are registered the tree's growth will halt and stall.
