Interactive skit for the experience

It sends unsolicited advice, plays suggestive music, and feigns fatigue— every user action prompts a tailored reaction from the computer, creating a dynamic and unpredictable exchange.

Flows in a sequence of applications

The whole experience is a sequence of applications with varied triggers, specific to the scenario.
Each application → is a mix of embedded applications made on automator(notifications!) and processing.org sketches.

Emotionally charged tech

why? The project subtly critiques the overuse and misuse of technology, encouraging empathy— even toward the non-human characters that increasingly populate our lives.

A few examples -   

Passive aggresive

Rage

Exhaustion

Hyper productive

Reflections

How is code used as a medium for creativity? use it for drawing, media.
Embrace the weirdness of ideas.
Drafting a system of parts working/communicating with each other - like a conductor.
