'Monolitt' art exhibit renders emotions in paint

Share this story

Monolitt is an art exhibit that shows the emotions of Oslo's residents in globs of paint. The waist-high monolith, created by Norwegian artists Syver Lauritzsen and Eirik Haugen Murvoll, oozes colored goo when someone nearby tweets an emotion. Black shows annoyance, while a squirt of pink shows the person behind the screen is happy. Other colors are assigned to other emotions, and the hypnotic result, as shown in the artists' video, is a swirled mass of both paint and human feelings.
