Infinite Loop #Mobius #Kaleidoscope #Mirrors Initial Concept
For many of us, that loop is simply checking in on your smartphone, which quickly becomes a loop of also checking email, Facebook, Instagram, or whatever else.

Red Thread #Plexus #Interaction Initial Concept
People have connections anytime and anywhere even though they do not know each other. I tried to track people’s location to make this connection visible.
Philosophy
It’s about the social group. Normally you will have new friends in different phases of yo keep updating.
Intro
It’s a mouse pressed event. White lines are others’ social networks. When you click/pre
our life, meanwhile, you’ll lose some friends too. Depending on your status, your social network is
ess the mouse, you can connect with others (red lines).
Tool
Processing 3
Digital Shadow #Visual System #Way of Interaction Initial Concept
By using shadow to show your emotion / current status / whether you’re sociable or not. As to human connection, shadow is a subtle existence which is hard to be noticed. But if you care about some one you must know some details of him/her. Thus I took shadow as this detail of one person.
Fuzzy Molecular / Blobby The more moleculars the shadow has, the more sociable the people are.
Visual System of Different Shadows
Way of In These are exported png sequences, Smooth = Sociable
nteraction , showing how moleculars interact. e, Noisy = Lonely
Facial Expression #Facial Recognition #Visual System Initial Concept
Our faces can express a wealth of information because there are 43 muscles on our face. Facial expressions may have evolved as efficient ways to telegraph feelings and intentions. And it is possible that forcing your face to express happiness, sadness or anger may help you feel those emotions.
