"What does your emotional landscape look like? This work invites you to view the inner world of twelve individuals who participated in a study on the brain basis of emotions. Using data from EEG readings of the twelve subjects during five emotional states (anger, joy, fear, sadness, and disgust), artist Eva Lee and composer Manly Romero have created a visual and auditory journey through the discrete terrain of subjective experience." --Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art
Research conducted by Dr. James Coan, Affective Neuroscience Laboratory, University of Virginia. Sound by Manly Romero.
Made possible in part by the support of The MacDowell Colony.

Eva Lee 2 years agoData was plotted on 3d plane and determined the amount of distortion, what appears to be peaks and valleys. Re sound, composer first decided pitches per individual, and then volume and pitch changes are according to data.
