Bodymapping

In order to correlate emotions to our body, we created a map that illustrated where our feelings belong. We found out that contradictory feelings are perceived to originate from the same body area and they are context dependent.

Debriefing

Technology and our interactions with it have become too standardise dand stale. Further, technology is no longer just an optional addition; it has become a fundamental requirement. Our objective is to rediscover the fundamental human experiences that were overlooked by the iPhone and Facebook. We aim to foster genuine human connections that not only permit emotions but also encourage and celebrate the diverse spectrum of human feelings and expressions.
