Touch Me. I Have Feelings, Too

A recovered 2010 project page asked whether machines have feelings and described an Arduino-and-Flash interface that gave a computer an expressive bodily metaphor.

A machine and an emotional metaphor

The work used a deliberately provocative premise to explore how people project feelings onto machines. This is an art-history record rather than evidence that a computer experiences emotion, and the original software is not reactivated here.
