The Emotions Looper

This project dealt with emotional feedback loops. I researched how different actions can cause us emotional reactions and put us in a loop of irrational actions that only increase the emotion. In these loops action increases emotion increases action and repeats.
A common situation in which such loops happen is a traffic jam - a driver honking to express frustration causes other drivers to honk, the honking creates more frustration and thus a loop is created.
In the installation, I examined this phenomenon in a technological context - man versus computer. I created two codes: one allows a dialogue of increasing horns between a person and a computer, the other allows three participants to create a dialogue of horns between them together with the computer that intervenes.

​

The project was done as part of the "Digital Dialogues" course for a master's degree at the Bezalel Academy of Design and Art
