Exciting Research

A world where everyone’s mask seems to fall off and where social interconnectivity is made aware. It can break the ice and change social constructions by making everybody more ‘sensitive’.  A less-hierarchical sharing space. Your subconsciousness is ‘vulnerably’ shown with your consent, because you agreed on showing it, by wearing it. Subconscious collective behaviour is measured, visualised and further stimulated. The body, its relations and exchange with other bodies and the context open a framework where technology serves as a canvas to paint our emotions.
‘Can we learn more about social interactions as cyborgs?’


While wearing the device you can not see your own color, the device shows extra (extravert) information without you controlling it. With the MOODY® you will grow a new cyborg sense, an extension of your body and a new reality for the others around you, something that couldn’t be ‘reachable’ in normal social interactions.

The public participates by wearing a device that measures their excitement together with the distances between them. The energies between the people are shown. A laboratory environment in which a participant participates and also researches, shows the research: playful interactions with people and things, live colourful multi-dimensional graphs, personal evaluation prints, … Can we learn more about social interactions from this? Can we view ourselves as a rhizome from a distance? The body, its relations and exchange with other bodies and the context open a framework where technology serves as a canvas to paint our emotions.
