EMOTIONS GO TO WORK

An Alphabet of the Passions Part 3
Data Clouds

This chart is an imaginative prediction based on the fact that more and more of our personal data is online, stored in ‘the cloud’. This information, such as millions of snapshots, is being used to train artificial intelligences to take on pseudo emotional characteristics. As more and more emotional data is compiled and stored, one can imagine monstrous data clouds, sweeping across the skies taking on human visages, mobile shifting expressions born of the affective data of billions of people.
