„Feel.Back.Loop“ is a robotic tail that explores how machines can learn, interpret, and respond to human emotion. Through affective computing and reinforcement learning, it develops an evolving mutual language—using human facial expression as feedback—to communicate emotionally through movement. The work reflects on human–AI interaction, questioning how establishing a bond with intelligent agents may reshape our emotional norms, sense of connection, social expectations, and cultural perception.
The work Feel.Back.Loop will be shown as part of IC @ Ars Electronica 2025, exhibited at PostCity, Bahnhofplatz 12.
