● people interact with touch interfaces, social networks and mobile phones● interfaces are designed to express emotions through music, graphics...● data is gathered and fed to expert system, to aggregate information● aggregated emotions are used in groups to be visualized:

● dancer's body interprets information as body electric shocks● video projection 1 generates representation using Plutchick● video projection 2 generates interferences on vide input● Speakers on body of dancer generate words according to monitored emotional state
