“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
