Mood Ring
Tampa's Public Mood Ring is a combined Internet and spatial installation which displays the emotional condition of public news stories as color hue. It is based on the wearable "mood ring" which chemically changes color according to body temperature. The Public Mood Ring relies on intense LED lighting, which is encased in recycled steel. Think about all of the details necessary to create this work of art and connect it to the public’s thoughts through the Internet. What are your thoughts about this installation? What do you think the benefits of having a public mood measurement are? Could there be a negative aspect to knowing the public's mood?
