Punters:
Auto-portraits of fairground thrill

Research and Development Award: £15 000
The research phase of the project will explore the boundaries of current
emotion-sensing practice by developing an algorithm to detect the emotion
of thrill from sampled Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Galvanic Skin Response
(GSR) bio-signals. Design Researcher Brendan Walker will collaborate with
James Condron, Research Fellow at Media Lab Europe in Dublin, to develop
a machine ultimately controlled by human emotions. The machine will create
a unique collection of photographs reflecting the fairground as experienced
by the rider. The results are intended to be primarily artistic, the images
emotive. The portraits, along with the auto-portrait machine will form
the basis for an installation.
