Organum installation - SulptureCenter NYC
Proposal for a scaled up version of our existing installation for exhibition in 2015. Co-creation with visual artist Tim van Cromvoirt.

Recent research shows the structure of a big city has a lot in common with the functioning of a complex lifeform. Both have vains and bloodcells, both have organs and both have mood.

Organum reflects/mirrors the emotional expression of New York City. It is the representation of a functioning heart modelled on the city's layout.

We extract and process this 'emotion' from the New York’s social media with a software script. The artwork is directly linked to this collective ‘Digital Twitter Emotion’ and will respond by change in heartbeat and color. When the average mood is relaxed the heartbeat will be steady and color of the pulse will be green or yellow, if there is more discomfort in the city the heartbeat will get bumpy and color will change realtime into orange or even red.

In our model three major subjects will be filtered:
- Social/emotional - Tweets about feeling happy or sad
- Economic - Tweets about jobs, shopping, leasure time 
- Enviromental - Tweets about the weather or pollution

More specific parameters within these subjects will be processed to get the best and most detailed results.

In car design I had to 'free form' a lot of stuff virtually with Nurbs-software and I wondered what it would be like if I could do this without a computer. This is the analog way of Nurbs modeling with bounding box, controle and edit points.
