One thing that really surprised me in my research was the differences between the east and the west parts of the world, and their differences in forming positive relationships based up conflicting cultural social cues. People who are better at coming across as emotionally intelligent in one part of the world might not be able to convey the same emotions in a different part of the world, so I wanted a way to analyze this in a way that does so without my perception of bias, This sprint is an installation set up with a camera, Arduino, and projector. When a person walks in front of the camera the analysis starts and when it's complete a person's results are shown in the form of tangible objects. This is a reflection of how the computer perceives a individuals emotional intelligence, people's results differ in the type of objects, the number of objects, and their sizes.

A psychological model that can be intersected with emotional intelligence and interpersonal connections of people are what's known as the "Big Five" personality traits in psychology. To help understand how these are connected and represented in a contemporary context, I created a zine based on the five personalities of Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Each spread is an ode to a respective personality and explores how each one is present in interpersonal relationships in this current period of time.
