The installation is an interactive art space consisting of projection screens and sound equipment that respond to the emotions of the viewer. The central element of the work is a system that reacts to a visitor's smile: special algorithms recognize its appearance and trigger changes in the audiovisual environment. Thus, the viewer becomes a co-author of the work, since his emotions directly affect what is happening around him.
The project explores how sharing positive emotions affects people. The idea is based on neuroscience research that shows that the collective expression of positive emotions is able to synchronize the activity of neurons, brain cells responsible for transmitting information. This synchronization creates a sense of unity and mutual understanding, which strengthens social ties.
At the societal level, shared emotional experiences help people better understand each other and overcome social difficulties. Thus, the installation demonstrates the ability of modern technologies to unite people and enhance a sense of community through shared emotions. The name of the project translates from Italian as "dance of diaphragms" and reflects the phenomenon of emotional contagion, in which a smile initiates a chain reaction that turns into laughter - as a physical and social experience.
