Facial reactions Study

This work explores several topics that I am interested in: the development of instruments for visual performance, the relationship between visuals and sound / music, as well as exploring non-verbal communication: what new modes of communicating one emotional state can be created? 

In this project, I recorded several facial expressions, and explored different subdivisions and different mappings with the sound. I simply assigned the intensity of different FFT bands to different parts of the face. This mapping can be changed dynamically, turning the software into an instrument.
