Dyadic Emotional Exercise
Aug 16, 2026What it is about
A dyadic emotional exercise simulated through two identical, mirrored interfaces that respond only when both users perform the same gesture simultaneously — the visual output is a shared field of color that fractures and destabilizes when gestures fall out of sync, using Josef Albers’ principles of color relativity as the rendering system. The piece must be built entirely in ASCII characters, with no graphics or images, and the only color shifts occur through controlled, adjacent character patterns that exploit perceptual illusion.
How it was made
Built as an interactive browser piece with browser code; the code bundle is linked below as the output.
