"description": "In analytics and statistics, data visualisations, such as the heatmap, are used as tools bring forward patterns in data. These data visualisations, are often presented as objective tools of knowledge: data supposedly do not lie. What is often neglected however, are the subjective and political intricacies embedded within the datasets, and its method of visualisation. In collaboration with Cristina Cochior I am exploring the concept of data dramatisations, as an opposite to data visualisations. Rather than aiming for the objective, we explore the affective & performative aspects of data gathering and processing.\n\nSustaining Gazes is a data dramatisation which looks at the role between the visualisation and its subject. A heatmap is generated by looking at it, which directly influences the looking. Areas which are looked at turn into interesting shapes, inviting even more observation. The pattern of looking is reinforced though its visualisation. This cycle reveals both a hierarchy of power between algorithm and subject, as well as a point for intervention.",

"description": "Emotion recognition software is being used both as a tool for \u2018objective\u2019 measurements as well as a tool for training one\u2019s facial expressions, eg. for job interviews. Emotion Hero is a literal translation of the paradoxical relation between these applications of the technology.\n\nEmotion Hero is a two-part artwork. On the one hand is a video-game that is freely downloadable for everybody with an Android device (see <a href=\"https://play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.rubenvandeven.emotion_hero\">Google Play<\/a>). Inspired by Guitar Hero, the user scores points by following given cues. It provides detailed feedback on the mechanics of the face (eg. \u201cYou showed on 10% Joy when you had to show 100%, smile 99.32% more.\u201d), revealing that rather than being a window into the brain, the face is a controllable surface.\n\nThe second part is a projection that shows the aggregated scores of the game. In order to substantiate their discourse, companies in facial expression measurement employ a huge amount of data collection and processing. The results are displayed in a fixed grid, recalling historical practices that, trough extensive measurement and administration, also aimed to delineate something which is conceptually undelineated: think of Duchenne de Boulogne, Lombroso, and Charcot.\n\nEmotion Hero is a playful invitation to open up the box of expression analysis to reveal the assumptions that underlie this technology.\nThe game's emotional intelligence is powered by Affectiva (I was also <a href=\"http://blog.affectiva.com\/sdk-on-the-spot-emotion-hero-app-encourages-play-with-facial-expressions\">interviewed<\/a> by them).",

The first part displays the <em>Mind Reading Emotions Library<\/em>, an interactive collection of videos, audio fragments and scenes depicting 412 distinct emotions &mdash;ranging from `angry' to `unsure'&mdash; grouped in 24 categories. The second part of the project is a tablet with a modified demo app by Affectiva, a major player in the field of emotion analysis software. This app acts as an interactive mirror which displays the various parameters that the Affectiva software derives from someone's facial expression, while a voice over reads a text extracted from the Dutch classic <em>Beyond Sleep<\/em> by W.F. Hermans (1966), concerning the impact of the mirror, photography and video on the human self-image.",

"description": "In western society, images are generally perceived as objective traces of events. As evidence that things happened as how they are captured in the frame.\n\nAs Susan Sontag elaborates, this counts for photographic images in particular. They are seen, not as subjective statements about the world, but rather as pieces of it &mdash;as fragments of a reality. Photographic images are often seen as unbiased; they carry in them the \"burden of truth\". We use them to give meaning, to asses and to judge. It exactly is in this passivity of the image, that its aggression lurks.\nFragments of Reality is a newspaper that assembles descriptions of five images of one event: a press conference with Jeroen Dijsselbloem and Yanis Varoufakis. Each interviewee was shown one of the images, in an attempt to highlight how we read events trough photographs.\n\nIt considers an event not as a single factual moment, but as the cumulative of subjective experiences, inherently proposing that an image is always lacking in its representation of that which it presents.",

"description": "Originally initiated as a graduation project (cum laude) by Ward Goes, <a href=\"http://spectacularspectacular.news\">The Spectacular Times<\/a> is an ongoing visual inquiry into the presentation of news. It investigates how news, rather than being subjective, is representational of its social, cultural, (geo)political and ideological contexts. The project sets out to lay bare these representations in currently circulating news.\n\nBy layering and contrasting different news elements The Spectacular Times re-contextualises news and makes explicit the intangible notions that lie beyond an increasingly universal guise of news reporting. Not in an effort to tell apart true from false, left from right, or right from wrong, but in order to accentuate a variety of articulations of news.\n\nThis web based project uses user defined variables to animate news headers, texts and images, which are directly sourced from different news websites world wide. By adjusting these parameters (among which region, scope and speed) the spectator actively perceives how news content is de- and reformed through its aesthetics.",
