SENSITIVE ROSE is an interactive compass rose formed by mobile tags (QRcodes) that map people's desires. The interactions happen via cell phone or mobile devices and the results can be seen in a large screen projection (or in computer screen at www.sensitiverose.com/rose.php).

The work intention is to "navigate" in the desires of the people, in a secret way, through a ciphered poetics of tags, which cannot be deciphered with naked eyes.

The interaction happens via mobile devices accessing the URL http://www.sensitiverose.com/m/. The interactor must choose what he/she wants from life. After interacting, the Sensitive Rose (www.sensitiverose.com/rose.php) maps on the screen the desire next to the tag related to it and generates the tag with the name of the interactor, codifying it in the QRcode a text like: "Joe wants love". The tags are generated after each interaction and when the relevance of desires changes, the whole compass rose changes as well to represent it.

The mobile tags that map the desires form a compass rose using the metaphor of navigation. In this work, the navigation happens in the desires.

The codified way used to navigate the desires in the Sensitive Rose is related to the way our desires are communicated, most of the times unrevealed at first sight, needing to be deciphered as well.
