The Art of Feeling-turning brainwaves into paintings
This is an amazing project done by Random Quark for Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness showing an amazing form of art that reflects one’s feelings with the help of technology. Different colors represent different emotions, for example, the color red represents love, etc. Then the brainwaves are recorded by GEE headsets and processed to generate complex patterns.
I personally found this project very inspiring because it is a very creative approach to visualize something intangible and hard to depict like emotions. Even though this project was based on the need for promoting mental health wellbeings, there are definitely opportunities to draw the inspiration and turn something else into a creative art form. This is also a multi-disciplinary way to build bridges between scientists, programmers, and artists to work collectively and produce something that general public are able to understand.
