What
I research this with my camera attachment that responds to your emotions. It changes the way you make photos by taking the control over the shutterbutton.
By sensing the psychological sweat* which happens in response to emotive stimuli like stress, anxiety and pain. Simply said: Measuring how much you sweat from your hands. It uses this information to decide wether it triggers the shutter or not.
Analog photography thought me that useful restrictions can feel liberating. The extra time you put in everystep of the process makes the endresult taste so sweet, even if the journey had some bitter moments. I want to encourage looking for increasingly bitter paths that lead to emotionally invested images you’ll want to look at for years.
if you could only take a photo when you’re anxious enough?
We live in a cyber age (or the Information Age); we’re growing rapidly, yet we mindlessly adapt without consideration of the pain we are experiencing from it. To me, this is the same as driving with your eyes closed because you’re scared to see what’s ahead. Our cameras keep getting faster, forcing us to take pictures that we’ll never see after we’ve shared them. In our current world we encourage behaviour that gets the attention of the masses while it discourages the less profitable ones. What if experiencing all of these emotions make life as attractive as it is?
To use this attachment, you first measure your current baseline conductivity by putting your thumbs on two sensors (see image below); based on this, you can set any number higher than your baseline as the ‘discomfort bar.’ From here on out, the attachment will only take a photo once you’ve reached that level.
If you get used to what originally made you uncomfortable, the camera will stop taking pictures. At that moment, you’ll have to raise the bar with the black dial on the side of the attachment.
Heartfelt photos to relieve some of Phill’s pain.
Phill wanted to try out the camera, but ironically enough. My painkillers (photos) must have been so effective on him that he only managed to take three pictures.
