Zusammenfassung
It has become increasingly possible to track and represent our emotions to get better understanding of them. However, whereas our emotions are ephemeral and fluctuate, common representations of emotions look true, permanent, and scientific. To explore how we can represent emotions in a way that is closer to how we feel and experience them, Emotion Bouquet was created. Emotion Bouquet consist of four pneumatic flowers that represent the four emotions of anger, sadness, calmness, and happiness through the shape, color, and movement of each flower. Pneumatics were used to created breathing patterns that replicate the our breathing during the respective emotions. For the color mappings, we relied on existing literature. Emotion Bouquet was deployed during a two-day exhibition. With this work, we aim to show the potential of soft robotic, physical data representations for the representation of emotions.
