Emotion Protocol
Emotion Protocol is a kinetic installation that features multiple four-faced Buddha heads mounted on rotating mechanisms. Each head, inspired by traditional Buddhist statuary, is equipped with a motor that allows it to rotate in a programmed pattern. The synchronized movement of the heads produces a dynamic visual display, highlighting the contrast between traditional forms and modern mechanics.
