Chameleon at Fabrica
If you enjoy art with a side order of interaction then you’ll no doubt be interested in the concept behind Fabrica’s latest exhibition – Chameleon.
Antipodean artist Tina Gonsalves and her team have somehow managed to create emotionally sensitive software which translates feelings into video portraits. These are then played back to visitors, which in turn affect their emotions anew, and mean that the mood within the gallery is constantly shifting in accordance with the exhibit.
It’s all to do with emotional contagion, an ability in human beings to absorb and display the emotions being expressed by others around them. Which the exhibition aims to demonstrate through you, the willing participant. It’s nice to feel part of something. Chameleon runs until 29th November.
