Sense::Transform::Express is a model for interactivity and experience.

In an interactive artwork the flow of information can be modeled by the concept Sense::Transform::Express. The artwork gathers information from the outside world using various types of sensors (like video cameras, motion detectors, thermometers, etc) and transforms this raw information (with a computer perhaps) so that in turn it can, in some way, be expressed (the turning on/off of video monitors, the playing of music, etc). By defining boundaries between these stages it becomes possible for one artwork to share the sense information it gathers with other artworks. Personal experience is also modeled, in an analogous way by Sense::Transform::Express. Consider the process: You smell something (sense), you decide that it smells bad (transform), you cover your nose with your hand (express). This fundamental model of experience closely mirrors the arbitrary boundaries of the SenseBus. The synergy and similarity of these two conceptual models allows for the creation of a framework that enables art at its most basic level. Sense::Transform::Express allows artists to explore human nature at a fundamental level and to collaborate on outcomes of these explorations. Essential, new processes of art are possible based on the conceptual and technological foundation of SenseBus.
