Human emotion and connection are fleeting and oftentimes invisible. In a world where virtually every movement or behavior within public spaces can be translated into and recorded as data, our feelings remain private.
What’s the worst that could happen if the pulse of your heart is made public for the world to see? What if you could literally wear your heart on your sleeve?
Our project delves into the conceptualization, development, and implementation of our iteration on life-affirming bio-sensing. Our project aims to challenge norms around data collection and bio-sensing, recognizing individuals for the sake of their existence, and allowing them to be complex and unknowable. The hope is that this recognition of an individual’s complexity and the resistance to data collection as purely empirical will allow individuals to embrace emotional vulnerability in public spaces by providing a platform for individuals to engage with their emotions.
