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.
