About
The Happy App is an artistic project, an experience and a creative tool, interpolating machine learning with human emotions.

In constant update, the app uses facial emotion recognition technology to evaluate your mood while in front of the screen. How absurd is that quantification?

Looking for ways to deal with codes on the edge of our capitalist surveillance system, aware of the instability and controversial aspects of this technology, this is a playful experience that respects data policies and users’ privacy.

If you prefer, you can call it a SELF THERAPY WEB APP 2.0, and it is free.
