Emotional Mirror

The Emotional Mirror reflects back your emotions at you. What you see is coloured by how you feel.

The mirror analyses participants’ facial expressions to decide if they are happy or sad.

Depending on the participant’s state of mind a happy or a sad tweet is displayed alongside the participant’s reflection.

While you’re looking into the mirror the feedback loop between sensation and perception becomes more visible.
