Lucky Island

Outside our visible spectrum of light, there is a very big area of electromagnetic radiation. Scientifically, that is also light, as it consists of photons. The most dangerous part for the human being: gamma rays. They are characterized by a very small wavelength and permeate almost all materials on earth. We cannot see them and generally only notice them when they are linked to radioactivity; for example, when we deal with the consequences of atomic bombs and nuclear accidents in power plants. In this project I don't want to downplay the dramatic effects of being exposed to this radiation but I want to help people understand it better. Therefore, I used the principle of sonification to make live measurements of monitoring stations in Japan “audible.”

Color Impression

Lukas Woerm (DE)

Light. Light is boundless and dematerialized – it is intangible and enables our primary perception, seeing. A contourless, monotone space filled with light forces our brain to cope for a short time without this visual input. Orientation and lack of dimension are the consequences. Light, color and space become one. A non-objective environment makes human perception the object of contemplation. How is our emotional being influenced by light and colors?

Gluttonous Snake

Our emotions can be conveyed through expressions and have the power to influence people around us. How do different emotions affect each other when they are together? Will happiness and sorrow counterbalance? Does anger cause a butterfly effect? Which kind of emotion will make the snake grow stronger rather than kill it? The answer is simple, happiness. We are generating emojis based on facial expressions. Different emojis have different powers. Try to keep growing the snake with happiness.
