2015
Web-application
Janis Lejins
This work retrieves the latest PornMD searches.
The search metadata is marked according to whether the user is searching for 'Gay', 'Transexual' or 'Straight' porn. From this information the program generates a baseline colour value. The program then reads the search data and uses sentiment analysis to assign relative colour values. The algorithm judges the perceived levels of objectivity vs subjectivity and positivity vs negativity of the keywords. The final colour is the result of multiplying the base colour value against the subjective value generated by the keywords.
This colour data is updated to the webpage as it is needed. In this way the work literally renders human sexual desire as a diverse changing spectrum of colours-time in real.
