Abstract

My summer research is an immersive art installation which attempts to make viewers more aware of how they are affected emotionally by visual stimuli. It consists of three rooms, each of which is designed to have its own "emotional climate" or mood. By juxtaposing an anxiety inducing room with a peaceful environment, with an energizing space, the viewer is made more aware of how their emotions are impacted by artistic elements such as color, line, shape, pattern, and texture.
