Emotions in Color
December 2023
With this project I am attempting to translate human emotions into color. It is a personal experience during which a participant is asked to input 5 colors for 5 different emotions. The colors are then used to generate a personal generative artwork that portrays the unique color gradient of the participant. The work was completed using a combination of p5.js and physical computing with Arduino.

User Testing
Here is a short clip of Zion participating in the user testing of my project at the Interactive Media Lab.
Zion has to use the 3 potentiometers to put in the color and press the button to progress to the next stage. Each knob represents an RGB value from 0 to 255, which allows for a precise control over the entire spectrum of colors.
