However, her face – the usual conveyor of feelings – is hidden. We can see a dancer move in a life-size screen that is endlessly rocking back and forth and moving to the rhythm of a device, like a gadget that cheats the step counter on your smartphone. Infinite Posture Dataset focuses on the detection and interpretation of emotionally loaded body language. Supported by Creative Industries Fund, Mondriaan Fund and MU. Considering that by now scientists discern 27 or more distinct emotions, Vogelaar rather underlines the complexity and irrationality of our affections instead of simplifying them through algorithms. She connects them to Paul Ekman’s Action Units – the six basic emotions happy, sad, angry, surprised, scared and disgusted we display with clear facial expressions that emotion recognition software can detect. For her eponymous work, Vogelaar trained an actress to control her 44 facial muscles to display a diversity of emotions. Vogelaar arrives at Digitalive from September 23 to October 25 with two artworks presented in collaboration with the MU – Hybrid Art House in Eindhoven: Facial Action Coding System (2018), where she trained an actress to control all her 44 facial muscles by submitting the mutations of her face to an emotion recognition software, and Infinite Posture Dataset(2020) where through the expressiveness of the body of a dancer she challenges the idea of technological progress.įacial Action Coding System refers to a set of facial muscle movements corresponding to specific displayed emotions. In her research, Coralie Vogelaar is capable of making complex issues visible and tangible through rigorously conducted research and focuses on the problematic relationship between man and machine.
