KARE

Kare is a conceptualisation project for the creation of an interactive system to strengthen networks of care and mutual support. For this purpose, merging technology, science and art, an interactive device dedicated to the expressivity of emotions and connectivity between individuals was designed. It is a device capable of interacting with one or more sibling devices to facilitate users’ recognition of emotions through physical reactions, management on an individual and collective level as a practice of mutual support.

We experimented with physiological sensorics, wireless communication devices, programming of communication protocols and an interaction study regarding emotions and links between individuals for networking.
