São Paulo, Brasil, 2015.

A mixture of street furniture and a data visualization project, the installation invites the observer to sit on a bench, take a picture of themselves and choose between six emotions they might be feeling: love, joy, surprise, anger, fear or sadness, according to Dr. Phillip Shaver’s definition of the six basic human emotions. Each one is represented by a color, through which the image is filtered at the moment it appears in the Digital Art Gallery. The image fades into a graph which allows comparison between the predominance of emotions, both individually and socially.

The images are displayed on the main façade of FIESP Building, located at Paulista Avenue – São Paulo, one of the most expressive buildings from 80’s Brazilian Architecture, a masterpiece from architect Rino Levi.
