Open MindEra
A speculative society in 2075 where emotions become visible and public systems are organised around care, empathy and shared understanding.
If emotion became visible, what would society redesign?
What could everyday life become if emotion was visible and public systems were designed around care and shared understanding?
The project asked what could happen if emotion was no longer private. A positive future still needed to show tension, trade-offs and believable everyday consequences.
I built a complete world around MindChip technology, visible emotional auras, Mood Beacons and the First Light Ceremony. Film, artefacts and service systems made the future tangible.
The final work became a coherent speculative world presented through a narrative film, a physical prototype and an illustrated pictorial publication.
One idea becomes a whole world.
Four moves connect the problem, the design logic and the final direction.
MindChip
Make emotional state visible rather than hidden.
Aura
Translate feeling into a public visual language.
Mood Beacon
Turn collective emotion into environmental information.
First Light
Let the system become ritual, culture and memory.
2075, made believable.
The moving pieces make the project easier to understand at a glance.
