This interactive art installation was created in collaboration with Dr. Luca Franceschi (Ph.D.), a machine learning scientist. The viewer's facial expression is captured by a camera in real time, then their emotions are identified through an AI face recognition model. The detected data dynamically transforms the colour, movement, and intensity of the interactive LED lights installed to illuminate the abstract paintings, in a rich variety of ways.
Rather than simply identifying a single primary emotion, the AI subtly incorporates secondary emotions, such as traces of surprise within a happy expression, enabling intriguing and nuanced combinations in the light sequences. When multiple viewers' faces are recognized simultaneously, each person's primary and secondary emotions mix, producing unpredictable and varied combinations.










Exhibition @ Zemin Berlin, @ Café Karanfil (48 Stunden Neukölln Art Festival)
The main paintings displayed for the interactive installation (Fragments I, II, III) capture the swirling of feelings in an abstract style. It is about the sensation felt while wandering and searching for something, floating and suspended in space. Then, suddenly, every form of emotion overwhelms you, surrounds you, and tries to draw you somewhere among the fragments of your memories. It is like a rush of feelings rising from within, like thousands of petals drifting without destination, tangled, spiraling, pulling each other close. It is as if every portion of memory is coming to you, making you feel chaotic, longing for them, then letting them drift away, forlornly.
