Gerard Ralló’s Expressions Dispatcher
puts our reactions to daily situations
into the hands of someone else—a life
coach of sorts. The device is a two-part
system—a helmet equipped with
a screen that covers the wearer’s
face and displays various emoticons,
and a remote control device in the
hands of an expert who follows the
wearer around and has complete power
over which emotions are displayed.
The responsibility for creating our
self-image and how we are perceived
is thus passed to an individual who is
removed from our immediate emotional
state and can analyze an appropriate
response.
