Emotion Visualisation

We are translating mental health scores from the GHQ-28 [general health and wellbeing questionnaire] into mesmeric personalised artwork that visualise an individual's mental health states. 

Our intention: not to diagnose but to visualise, generating positive engagement with one’s mental state through an aesthetic experience.

During Northeastern University’s Women Who Empower Innovator Awards 2024, two individuals joined forces to create this project, combining their expertise and shared interest in how art can help us better understand ourselves.

Mariana, who specialises in Behavioural Neuroscience and Psychology and is also a full-time artist, founded Nous Health to bridge the gap between mental health service users and clinicians. Her vision is to make mental health services more accessible through the use of technology and evidence-based research practices.

Calypso is the founder of Rock Badger, a consultancy creating compelling artwork with an impactful purpose. Calypso’s vision is to transform data into art making it accessible, transparent and immersive.

Collaborating with Sares, a visionary digital artist whose work specialises in emotions and understanding the self. Sares’ practice bridges the past and future, merging traditional aesthetics with cutting-edge technology to shape new forms of creative expression.
