Abstract: This paper reflects on a body of work dealing with human interaction. How do we understand, communicate and spiritually contemplate in a world where the aspects of harmony are coming led with technological noise? Through a survey of aesthetic objects, the author traces the trajectory of social implications arising from the information age, exaggerated by computational developments. The works are presented in increasing order of complexity of interaction: fixed, responsive and participatory. Through thematic incorporation of symbolic hearts, harmony and noise in the works, the author sheds light on the current social climate and the way in which it affects our daily lives.
