This project, powered by TouchDesigner, visualizes the psychological effects of information overload in the digital age. Using real-time video capture, particle simulations, and physical effects, it transforms participants’ live images into dynamic particle streams, symbolizing continuous information input and emotional reactions. These particles form colorful cubic structures, where each cube represents a psychological layer, and colors reflect emotions like anxiety, excitement, or joy.

As participants engage, the visuals become more complex, illustrating the deep impact of digital information on emotions. The installation highlights both the benefits and burdens of constant connectivity, comparing information to fruit-flavored candies—appealing yet overwhelming in excess. Through this interactive experience, the project encourages self-reflection and promotes a healthier balance between digital engagement and mental well-being.
