情感的风
2014年5月-发布在互联网上，视频由谁“空间中的情感”旨在重新想象全球实时数据集的方式，通过来自3200个不同城市的情感流，为我们提供理解世界运动的独特视角。作为《情感机制》系列的一部分，这幅新作品是对“人的因素”的诗意表现，将人的影响与股票市场数据进行比较，构成了艺术家对卓越的数据量化形式的持续批判的一部分。
在这个互动的作品中，世界的情感云从城市升起，形成一个环绕地球的螺旋星云。我们在一个虚拟的地球仪上移动我们的手，将多个实时情感数据流混合成声音波。然而，当我们走向每个城市的源头时，声音变成了人群的声音，区分了不同城市独特的情感特征。当远离地球时，这种情感的声音就会消失在太空中，产生不太可能的回响。在投影屏幕上，参观者看到自己手中的地球仪，可以细腻地拨动人类的情感云雾，揭开“世界神经系统”的动态。
金融业是第一个从大数据革命中受益的行业，因此，治理城市的艺术已经从公民转移到金融领域。利用大量的实时在线数据新闻，这项工作将全球数据的概念重新配置为城市中人们的情绪，将他们的互联网数据转化为一种特别的声音交响乐。在这样做的过程中，这项工作揭示了地球的情感敏感性如何可能成为政治和经济突变起源的引擎，反之亦然，这些经济突变如何可能引发人类更深层次的情感反应。这种人类情感与市场之间的转换，以及作品中真实与虚构的融合，是艺术家莫里斯·贝纳永(Maurice Benayoun)所说的“批判性融合”的一部分。

“空间中的情感”是一个基于互联网的互动装置，它与数据流一起游戏，邀请参观者集体操纵世界上从3200个最大的城市发出的流和云中升起的情感，参观者用指尖演奏由此产生的螺旋星云，就像指挥一支银河管弦乐队一样。
EMOTION WINDS
May 2014 - Posted in Internet, Video by moben
Emotion in Space seeks to re-imagine ways in which global real- time datasets can give us a unique perspective on the understanding of world motion through emotional currents emanating from 3200 different cities. Part of the Mechanics of Emotions series, this new work is a poetical representation of the ‘human factor’, comparing human affects with stock market data, forming part of the artist’s running critique on preeminent forms of data quantification.
In this interactive work, clouds of the world’s emotions rise from the cities, forming a spiral nebula around the earth. We move our hands around a virtual globe, mixing multiple streams of real-time emotional data translated into waves of sound. As we move towards each city- source however, the sound becomes that of a crowd, distinguishing the unique emotional character of the different conurbations. When further from earth, the emotion sounds dissolve into space with unlikely reverberations. On the projection screen, the visitor sees the globe in his or her own hands, which can delicately stroke human kind’s emotion clouds, uncovering the dynamic of the ‘World Nervous System’.
The finance industry was the first to benefit from the big data revolution, and as such, the art of governing the city has moved from the civic to the financial. Utilizing huge swathes of real-time online data news, this work reconfigures the notion of worldwide data towards the emotions of people in cities, translating their Internet data into an ad-hoc symphony of sound. In doing so, the work reveals how the emotional sensitivity of the planet might be the engine at the origin of political and economic mutations, or how, vice versa, these economic mutations might provoke deeper human emotional responses. This translation between human affects and the markets, and the work’s merging of the real and the fictitious is part of what the artist, Maurice Benayoun, calls ‘Critical Fusion’.

Emotion in Space is an interactive Internet-based installation playing with data streams, inviting visitors to collectively manipulate the world’s emotions rising in streams and clouds, emanating from 3200 of the largest cities around the globe, the visitor playing the resulting spiral nebula with the fingertips, as if conducting a galactic orchestra.
