Overview
Free Loop is an interactive installation that combines art and technology to help people explore and express their emotions through drawing, sound, and visuals. Participants create drawings at a custom workstation, where their artwork is analyzed using the PAD emotional model and a DenseNet121 machine-learning algorithm in order to extrapolate emotional characteristics.
The system then transforms these emotions into generated music and dynamic projections built with Arduino devices and p5.js visuals. Each drawing produces a unique audiovisual experience and can also generate a personalized souvenir. The installation has been exhibited publicly, and offered a new way for people to experience emotion through creative interaction.
