Golden Tears is an interactive installation exploring vulnerability through physical touch, facial movement and generative visuals.
A p5.js game responds to real time facial gestures and spatial behaviour, while Arduino-based touch interactions activate a series of glowing sculptural forms.









THE  EXPERIENCE













Visitors interact with a digital environment through facial movement, spatial distance and physical touch. Their actions gradually transform the visual
world while activating the sculptural installation.

Translucent parchment forms were built around embedded LEDs and Arduino based capacitive touch sensors. Exposed red wiring was intentionally
retained as part of the visual language, referencing a fragile nervous system.







INTERACTIVE SYSTEM
01 Facial  Tracking
02 MediaPipe + Python
03  p5.js Logic
04  Generative Visuals
05  Serial Communication
06  Arduino Touch Input
 07 Physical Light Response
MediaPipe and Python track facial landmarks, proximity and movement in real time. p5.js translates these inputs into generative visuals, while Arduino
touch data is streamed through p5.serialserver to connect physical interaction with responsive light.
