ABOUT

The project is the culmination of my master studies at Konstfack.
The project is a speculative, provocative design proposal in which emotions are the centre of an alternative social network called Emotiva. In this social media, smart devices are able to monitor and then actually “transfer” to other users (with no filter) people’s emotional states through the Internet. The project has been structured as a parody. In this case, a parody of Kickstarter campaigns and Apple commercials. The project also aims to trigger reflection on how we are using technology and to which extent we are willing to rely on it – especially when it comes to deal with our identities and in social interaction.
