The first interactive installation that investigates
the relationship between territory
and the representation of happiness.
GeoHappiness Measuring
may art
measure happiness?
GHM is:
a first attempt to anonymously collect data on people’s happiness
to
create an emotional map that helps us to investigate the relationship between individual, territory and happiness.
what can we do
to look for new expressions of social happiness in the relationship between the human and the territory?
is it possible
to overcome the logic of purchase as the only or main measure of contentment, also giving value to other life experiences?
The first interactive installation that investigates
Our life is increasingly based on algorithms that help politicians, entrepreneurs, scholars, ordinary people to make decisions.
Underlying these decisions are data collections (big data) that increase collecting our network clicks, our purchases with loyalty cards in supermarkets, our credit card payments and so on.
We are rarely aware of generating data and we often do so in relation to activities based on the purchasing system and the creation of economic value.
Measurement of intangible and intimate elements is more difficult.
an artistic
provocation
Like many manifestations of human creativity,
GeoHappiness Measuring does not in itself claim to be scientific,
but we would like it to be an incentive to deepen our self,
the place we live in, the emotionality of those around us.
