Mo Ben’s Emotion Vending Machine @ transmediale
Friday, February 3, 2006
The Emotion Vending Machine is a sequel to the Mecahnics of Emotions. Apparently it inherited some of the code because I’m listen alnog with evo and marloes as a contributor to the software (I did some minor java3d tweaks to the program mostly written by evo). The EVM is at transmediale at the moment (scroll to the third project on the linked page).
The mechanics of the world’s emotions evolve in the zone where economics and politics converge, in the world of product placement. Through its concept of artistic merchandizing, the Emotion Vending Machine deals with the production of emotions in an ironic way.
