Central Saint MartinsgraduateJann Choy has created an inflatable maskthat reacts to your online behaviour. This one-minute video shows it in action.<\/p>\n
Named Lin, the mask is an experimental design piece that aims to explore the performance of our virtual selves and the relationship between our online and offline personas.<\/p>\n
The mask uses a form of artificial intelligence known as sentiment analysis to understand your online interactions.<\/p>\n
Depending on whether you choose to act positively or negatively, different corresponding areas of the mask swell, changing the structure of the mask.<\/p>\n
The mask was created by Choy as her graduate project while studying at Central Saint Martins College. Choy was inspired by the traditional Chinese performance art bin lin.<\/p>\n
Bin lin, which directly translates as \"face changing\", is a subgenre of Chinese opera. Performers wear a series of bold masks each representing a different emotion.<\/p>\n
During the performance, actors switch between masks seemingly instantaneously.<\/p>\n
Choy's design draws a parallel between this performance and our online behaviours.<\/p>\n
The project was recently awarded the Mullenlowe Nova Awards for Fresh Creative Talent.<\/p>\n
