Mood of the Planet is an interactive physical-digital sculpture that has as its center-piece a large “arch” or “doorway” that emits colored light and sound as a form of visualization and sonification of the changing, live emotions expressed by people all around the Earth. It is the product of several disciplines, including the arts, computer science, linguistics and psychology. In particular, we use artificial intelligence to collect and analyze social media data and extract emotions from these using a brain-inspired and psychologically motivated emotion categorization model. Such emotions are then translated into colors and sounds that the audience can experience while passing through the arch. Feedback from the audience proved the Mood of the Planet to provide a more accurate, personal and tangible experience about the data-emotions dichotomy.

Mood of the Planet 是一个互动的物理数字雕塑，其核心是一个巨大的“拱门”或“门口”，它发出彩色的光和声音，作为人们表达的不断变化的现场情感的可视化和声化形式环绕地球。它是多个学科的产物，包括艺术、计算机科学、语言学和心理学。特别是，我们使用人工智能收集和分析社交媒体数据，并使用受大脑启发和心理激励的情绪分类模型从中提取情绪。然后将这些情绪转化为观众在通过拱门时可以体验到的颜色和声音。来自观众的反馈证明了 Mood of the Planet 提供了关于数据情感二分法的更准确、个人和切实的体验。
