Emotional language
Artistic research, a parallel to science

The biggest problem in the first world at the moment is mental health which is for a large part emotional. Our inability to effectively communicate emotions keeps the problem alive. Therefore I’m looking for a solution.

Emotion is built out of 3 elements;

The physical self exists within the boundaries of society with the social binding it all together.

The way I work is with artistic research. It exists somewhere between philosophy, art and science. That means that I may rely on different kinds of intelligence. The world as I know it works through spoken and written language. A word has a meaning, this is a concept. And a concept is cognitive. So, communication as we use it now is cognitive.
That begs the question, can we communicate in a non-cognitive way? Emotional communication specifically, in this case. We need to have a look at intelligence, that is the synthesis or processing of input to a form of outcome. So, in the emotional human, where is intelligence found? All the examples below are statements existing in a big gray spectrum.

From these ways of thinking I'm creating my projects. Expanding fastly the ways to look at a problem
such as emotional comunication.
