EMO explores the intricate relationship between emotion and digital identities, emphasising tactile experiences. Motivated by the beauty of imperfection in the physical realm, we challenge the notion of perceived perfection in the digital world. Our goal is to establish a harmonious middle ground, envisioning an era of hybrid identities.
At the core of EMO’s ecosystem lies a wearable device, seamlessly blending the tangible with the virtual. This acts as a companion that records and translates emotions into a personalised digital avatar, without resorting to labels and stereotypes. Recognising the fluidity of emotion and interactivity, we have forged a vision of a future of human-machine symbiosis.
Our exploration reveals that imperfection in the physical realm offers more freedom than the illusion of boundless perfection in the digital realm. By merging the physical and digital domains, we transcend existing boundaries and pave the way for a more inclusive dialogue about individual needs, desires, and emotions.
