Join us for an evening programme in occasion of the solo exhibition of Coralie Vogelaar Emotion Recognition from an algorithmic point of view at Punt WG. Coralie will go into discussion with designer and researcher Anja Groten, (Face the Interface) and curator and writer Margarita Osipian.

Emotion Recognition from an algorithmic point of view is a collaboration between visual artist Coralie Vogelaar choreographer Marjolein Vogels and actress Marina Miller Dessau.

Together they explored and trained deconstructed facial expressions according to the Facial Action Coding System, developed by prof. Paul Ekman in 1978. This system forms the basis of contemporary emotion recognition software and shows us a computer way of looking at our emotions.

By combining these collaborative performative experiments with algorithmic compositions and image blending as a method, these studies have resulted in – amongst other – two video installations and a live performance exploring the complexities and unknown expressions of the face.
