The Aura Reader is part of an interactive installation that invites visitors to explore their personal aura. The orb-shaped device reads a visitor’s aura through touch while guiding them through a meditative, AI-driven audio questionnaire. By responding to yes/no questions with hand contact, visitors influence their final aura color - yet the result remains partially randomized, reflecting the fluid and subjective nature of identity.
While lighthearted, the project also questions the power of personality tests and how quickly we identify with such categorizations. Through immersive sound design, real-time voice synthesis and playful unpredictability, the Aura Reader challenges our need for definitive self-definition - reminding us that identity is ever-changing and beautifully undefined.
