Aleph of Emotions explores the observable patterns of global human emotions sourced from an online social medium. It features an interactive object that functionally and aesthetically resembles a camera. The device allows users to view and compare collected emotion data. Twitter is used as the data source for the project. It is important to note that Aleph of Emotions is not intended to be a scientific experiment or tool for emotions, but is considered an artistic exploration of how people choose to emote online. The hardware acts as an extension to an everyday device, the mobile phone, which by itself, is virtually an extension of our selves.
