This project aims to use design to investigate a central point in our lives: the idea of happiness. Through a series of visual experiments, using light projections in public spaces, the intention is to explore the '3 different levels in the semantic terrain of happiness' according to British psychologist Daniel Nettle. The design outcome is a series of short films documenting visual experiments undertaken during the project.
