Project B proposal

In a world overflowing with data, Mood Garden captures something deeply human that often gets lost in the scroll: our moods, our emotions, our moments of expression. This project isn’t about saving the Earth or archiving history—it’s about preserving the emotional language of our time about the future.

We live in a culture where mood is identity. We express ourselves through emojis, vibe playlists, niche memes, and inside jokes. Mood Garden transforms that culture into something poetic: a surreal, digital landscape that literally grows from how we feel.

By sending this to the future, we’re leaving behind more than a message—we’re leaving a living portrait of emotion. Each visitor’s unique mood plant reflects their moment in time, and together, they form a garden of human connection.

For future audiences, this artwork becomes a kind of emotional time capsule: a way to feel the textures of life not through facts, but through feelings. Maybe in their world of logic and efficiency, Mood Garden reminds them how we feel of the future.

Inspirations

For aesthetic designs I was inspired by TeamLabs digital flowers where they combine flowers and the computer. I want to incorporate this design of a dark space, contrasting with the bright flowers, giving a dreamy and poppy feeling.

The left image is the starting scene from a rhythm game where you answer multiple sets of questions and the game sorts you into a band they think you fit into based on your answers. This is a similar concept to what I am trying to achieve by asking peoples emotions and forming a conclusion from them. The right is an image of a mix and match children's book which is also similar to my idea of mixing and matching different answers that correlate to a single image. Different answers can get you different designs of the plant, in the end mixing and matching to a single design that is custom for your emotions.
