Mood Machine

An Interactive Installation with Tesla Coil

Key Words: Abstract Information Expression, Experimental Multimedia, Tesla Coil, Interactive Installation


Like the human nervous system, the electronic machines have a similar electrical wire system. However, as we know, machines do not experience emotion. Where do human emotions come from? What if a “mood machine” could interact with humans in an abstract and emotional way?

Mood Machine is an interactive installation that is a new media experiment about the abstract information. It is an artistic expression of interactive audio-visual electric sparks expressed through Tesla Coil.
