CHAMELEON
Tina Gonsalves is currently working with world-leaders in psychology, neuroscience and emotion computing in order to research and produce emotionally interactive installations. She is currently honorary artist in resident at the Institute of Neurology at UCL in London, visiting artist at the Media Lab at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, USA and artist in resident at Nokia Research Labs, Finland as part of the Australia Council Connections Residency.
She will discuss the process of building about her latest project, CHAMELEON. The project uses facial emotion recognition software to build up an empathic relationship with the audience. The coding is built on research in social neuroscience. The project arises from cross-disciplinary research integrating emotion neuroscientist Prof Hugo Critchley, social neuroscientist Prof Chris Frith, computer scientists Prof Rosalind Picard and Dr Rana Kaliouby from the MIT Media Lab. She will also discuss her current works in development in mobile technology.
