Title
CHAMELEON
Date
2008 - 2009
Description

Using ‘emotional algorithms’ based on affective neuroscience studies, the piece demonstrates how we often have the uncanny ability to decode and predict the beliefs, goals and feelings of others. Each screen reads the audiences emotional expression, which in turn display the appropriate corresponding emotion. The figures move through a range of emotionals responses, often becoming immersed in sadness or anger. Over time, the figures attempt to build empathy with the audience, building an emotional homeostasis, resulting in calmness.
