Mood Temperature Dial

The Mood Temperature Dial, 2026 is an interactive installation that transforms everyday actions into opportunities for creative expression and community connection. Through bold design and dynamic engagement, the piece explores the visibility of consent and emotional response in a playful, participatory setting.

The installation combines oversized, tactile materials — illuminated tubing, retro controls, and a vivid LED matrix — to create a sensory experience that invites audiences to engage directly. As participants adjust the dial to display shifting “temperatures” of mood, the work elicits collective reactions of humor, curiosity, and awareness, turning observation into shared dialogue.

This project strongly aligns with ArtistSpark’s mission to empower artists through strategic, logistical, and financial support. By providing access to mentorship, consultation, and structured project planning, ArtistSpark enables artists to bring ambitious creative visions to life. Supporting the Mood Temperature Dial exemplifies this mission in action — helping an innovative artist navigate production logistics, funding, and presentation strategies to ensure the work reaches and engages a wider public audience.
