“Emotional Weather” Forecast
- weather system = chaotic system
- unstable and never fully predictable like emotional states and the crises we are facing (and our experience of and responses to them)
- peace offering and acceptance of anxiety instead of trying to optimize it away
- record people’s experience at the current time, no complicated projection and reflection
- forecast and history to view your emotions “passing”
Valence-Arousal Model of Emotion as Input
- Pick colours from the gradient to illustrate your current emotional state
- not assigning particular emotions or categories, but general adjectives to describe layered experiences

Weather Station and “Window” at DI Studio
- export values at coordinates to TouchDesigner
- animate a landscape illustration to display the current “emotional weather” at the location
- grid of frames/states mapped to the colours of the gradient
- Frames = different foregrounds and backgrounds layered to represent each cell of the gradient-grid
Next Steps
- prototype the animation
- importing data already works
- illustrate frames
- refine weather forecast
