An emotionally filterable book of Genesis, based on IBM Watson Tone Analyser's interpretation of the scripture. The prototype (in the GenesisProto folder) made with Processing assigns a color block to each verse, corresponding to the tones and the likelihood of accuracy detected by Watson. The tones are joy, sadness, anger, analytical, confident, tentative and fear.
The deliverable (in the GenesisProd folder), uses P5*js It displays each verse with an emoji indicator and filters at the top. I use a subset of emotions here, omiting analytical, confident and tentative.
It is often said that religions are whatever people make them to be. This website allows us to go a bit further by filtering out passages that might not fit the tone that resonates most with a reader at a given moment.
This quick and dirty project was made for the Creative Coding Lab course at HEAD Media Design, Geneva.
