/ Gut Feeling /

Concordia University, Montreal, 2022 This object design project is a physical interactive representation showing the effects of probiotics on mental health. Based on a study conducted in 2015, it was shown that by taking probiotics, depression in subjects was decreased. The object allows users to play with the piece by adding and removing food items to the tubes, and watching lights illuminate and change colour; indicative of adding probiotics to the gut and having your mood change. As a collaborative project, I contributed to the concept development and physical composition of the object to integrate my team member’s work with LED light elements and sensor-based coding.
