Process:
09. Parasympathy
By collecting neurological data, how can smart environments autonomously improve occupants' well-being by adjusting light and color in response to anxiety or depression?
Cinematography
The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for intense physical activity and is often referred to as the fight-or-flight response. The parasympathetic nervous system has almost the exact opposite effect and relaxes the body and inhibits or slows many high-energy functions.
Parasympathy is an interactive installation that connects physical space with the emotional states of its occupants. It uses AI to detect human emotions from physiological data in real-time, translating this data into environmental changes like adaptable lighting. Research has shown that colors can significantly affect mood, physiological responses, and cognitive performance.
Medium: four 4 ft. x 8 ft. wooden panels, bendable “kinetic” paper boards, an iPhone, and a person.
My role: cinematography, photography, trial runs, device management, and documentation.
Collaboration with Mona Ghandi, Mohamed Ismail, Marcus Blaisdell, Aisha Marcos, and Ruri Adams.
