Embodied-Emotion mapping project by Orlagh O’Brien

on September 11th, 2008

Here’s a link to a great visualisation project by graphic designer Orlagh O’Brien – exploring emotions and their felt location within the body: Emotionally}Vague

“Emotions can be overwhelming. But not always so. They affect our thoughts and perceptions far more than we realise. It is well established that we are subliminally affected by visual media, and particularly in terms of unconscious emotions, drives and feelings.

I wanted to question how feeling can be experienced in the body, not simply in mind. I believe that we can use familiar tools to express understanding of experience, and not be restricted to the use of photographic stereotypes.”
