ICAT Playdate — Mood Cocoon: Artistic therapy through immersive multisensory installation
September 4, 2026
Mood Cocoon is an immersive multisensory installation that explores how spatial atmosphere shaped by light, sound, and feeling can support emotional reflection and care. Bringing together art, design, psychology, and technology, the project asks how broader art and design practices can become more responsive, restorative, and emotionally supportive. In this presentation, we will share the story behind the installation and discuss early findings from participant surveys and EEG-based physiological measurements.
