Description

Blue Monday (Romanian: Luni Albastră) is a day on which a person feels particularly melancholy, low-spirited or depressed as a consequence of having to return to work after the weekend.

Broken resolutions, still months of winter ahead and going back to the mundane after the holidays. Typically the third Monday of January marks the most depressing day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

Idea

My intention is to visualise the chaos of thoughts, expression of sadness and display of the mask humans put on while repeating the same things week after week almost like being in a state of hypnosis.

The white noise sound is meant to support the idea of monotony, since it contains all frequencies across the spectrum of audible sound in equal measure.

Position Looping Expression

freq = 0.5;
amp = 10;
loopTime = 5;
t = time % loopTime;

wiggle1 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t);
wiggle2 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t – loopTime);

linear(t, 0, loopTime, wiggle1, wiggle2);
