share your current mood!

The Mood Report is a silent mood indicator and function both as a digital platform, The Mood Report app, and as a public display campaign. It will help to check in on individuals, the local community and the public. At the same time, it will force people to stop and think for themselves - are they really okay?

How are you really?

In a city like London where life normally moves fast, you don't always have a change to stop and acknowledge your state of mind. This is where The Mood Report comes in handy. The project gives people an opportunity to really notice and to share how they ar doing in their everyday life, but without having to put anything into words, whether that being happy, moody or somewhere in between.

Besides a digital platform, the mood report also connects directly to the public space, such as tube stations and public squares. This will be updated based on the average mood in the area, so if people's mood are generally brighter and happier, the boards will be lighter compared to, if the average mood that day is dark and emotional etc.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SKY

The Mood Report works in a very simple and easy way, you simple just take an image of the sky, using the app, adjust the image to fit with your current mood and emotional state, upload the mood sky with your location. Both the app and the public displays will then automatically be updated, to reflect the average mood of that area.

The sky is an entirely neutral object and since the mood report is less about the image itself and more about the emotional state of the individual, the sky was an obvious choice. No words needed.

Simply put - the mood report is a polaroid snapshot of your emotional state, in that very moment
