I made a tears sensor for my recent project “Five Facts About Tears”. This tears sensor can detect tears and map tears into sound.

Five Facts About Tears is a video for art performance with five series of speculative wearable installations which have interaction with human extreme emotion carrier–tears.

I made 3 switches which can be turned on by shaking hands.

I saw a project that translates brain-wave EEG signals into the textile which is called “Mind in the Machine: Psyche in the Age of Mechanical Production” made by artist: Ani Liu. I think it is very cool to save our mind activities into a static visualizing way and combine with knitting. She illustrated her work here:

“This project stitches a portrait of the factory worker, through their fluctuating mental states throughout the day- capturing moments of frustration, focus, and meditative workflow. The resulting fabrics tell a story, and each one is unique to the worker and particular moment in time.”

I am interested in human unconsciousness activities like blinking eyes. This small action is necessary for keeping eyes functional which always open and close. I was wondering if I can make a speculative switch based on these on-offs to control turn on and turn off the light.

For further step, I want to create information (language) according to Morse code by using this switch.
