suspended engines / Emotional Traffic
Jean-Baptiste Barriere & Maurice Benayoun - some synthesis design by Olivier Pasquet.

The Internet is meant to be the world's nervous system. In Part 10 of “The Mechanics of Emotion” series of works, the artists will read the maps of world’s emotions gathered in real time from the Internet and considered as musical scores. In an experience of total collective manipulation together with the audience, they will play the emotions of the world live like musical instruments.
