#Human Machine Interaction #Interactive Installation
Project Overview
The project delves into how machines emulate human "vibe checks," processing our digital traces to tailor personalized online experiences. It probes the dynamics of emotion recognition and response by machines, fostering a dialogue on the essence of humanity in an era where our emotional imprints guide algorithmic interactions.
Contributions
This installation invites participants to think about how algorithms interpret human emotions, shape digital experiences, and prompt reflection on the interplay between technology and the nuanced aspects of human identity.

This project explores the intersection of human emotion and machine perception, highlighting how machines algorithmically "vibe check" in a manner akin to human intuition. Algorithms analyze our digital interactions, reflecting our tendencies and shaping content to our expected preferences. This mutual exchange relies on voluntary human input, as we subtly influence these systems to mirror our crafted online identities. Vibes—our unique emotional signatures—are deciphered by machines through measurable elements, forging a novel form of communication. This digital symbiosis raises compelling questions about the nature of emotion and humanity in a world where machines not only recognize but respond to our emotional language.
