light_emotion_data, John McNair 2016
Mirror acrylic, Wood, Light
108 cm x 144 cm
light_emotion_data
The installation captures real-time emotive data which is creatively displayed through the projection of a colourful light show. I aimed to really push the boundaries of what was possible by combining light, emotion and data,
This allowed me to create an installation with a positive feedback loop between the audience and the installation, while instigating a digital dialogue concerning human rights.
