WHNC is an interactive exhibition that translate people's feelings and emotions into colors and shapes. The aim is to show visitors all those nuances that only the relationships with others can create. This exhibition listen to people from
the inside, showing them how important the relationships are for human beings. Our goal is to start a reflection between people, leading them to go beyond prejudices.
Diversity can be a point of affinity.
Emotions would not be so significant if people would not exist. As colours don't exist without humans, emotions neither. From people's relations emotions grow faster.
The torch is the instrument through which it is possible to quantify the emotions of the people who carry it. Thanks to its embedded multiple sensors, the torch is capable to measure values like heart rate, skin conductivity, blood pressure and
temperature. These values are then collected and mixed, in order to recognize the original emotion of each user. It is like a crystal ball that, almost magically, reads people and guides them in reading what they feel, translating it into
color.
In a few words, it makes the invisible, visible.
Thanks to the torches, the user is now able to understand its own emotions, but we wanted to do even more, and arrive to the next level. We studied designer a room completely projected thanks to beamers and sensors thoroughly placed in the
right places. Thanks to them, all the environment could reacts to the emotions of the users inside, and creates fascinating and scenic transformations. Each users have then a personal projection that follow her/him, with the form of a variable
profile meta ball, of which the characteristics depend directly on the emotions the user is feeling at that precise moment.
