Concepts - Table as a Mood Reflector

One of the ideas was to use the table to show the moods of the inhabitants. Using voice sensors to detect the pitch etc the table could reflect the mood, ie if people are angry - its red, if people are happy, it's yellow.  If someone is shouting the table could start to build an abstract art pattern in dark, red tones but as they change their tone, the continuous pattern starts to evolve into a different colour. A paint my moods sort of thing!

The table could detect each individual voice and it is assigned a random colour and the voice range could produce a different continuous shape.

There is also the idea that it detects the mood and if people are angry the table could display, emit sound or light patterns to calm people down and restore the equilibrium.

Some of the ideas for shape have come about by looking at:
Paolo Ruffi - La Cova (1973)
Donato D'Urbino & Paola Lomazzi - Grionalan De Pas  (1970)
Gaetano Pesce - Donna Model No. Up 5 & Up  6 (1969)
Masanori Umeda - Gestsuen  & Rose (1990) 
Rocky Semprini & Mario Cananzi - Tatlin (1989)
