This project creates a multi-sensory experience that outputs a piece of interactive art - using facial movement as input. This piece of art demonstrates two diametrically opposed states: Calm and Agitated.
The visual component is achieved by applying Perlin Noise to multiple concentric circles. The severity of this noise scales with agitation level.
The audio component explores the use of Tibetan bowls at three different frequencies in addition to white noise. The dissonance level of these audio samples scales with agitation level.
All pieces communicate with the others using the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol.
