Liǎn mask uses artificial intelligence to respond to your emotions

Central Saint Martins graduate Jann Choy has created an inflatable mask that reacts to your online behaviour. This one-minute video shows it in action. Named Liǎn, the mask is an experimental design piece that aims to explore the performance of our virtual selves and the relationship between our online and offline personas. The mask uses a form of artificial intelligence known as sentiment analysis to understand your online interactions. Depending on whether you choose to act positively or negatively, different corresponding areas of the mask swell, changing the structure of the mask.
