What if a bureaucracy’s key metric was the emotional state of its members? This speculative workplace tool turns emotional reporting into a playful, sonic ritual.

After a meeting, each team member registers their state of clarity, confusion, motivation, and discouragement by twisting the sphere. Each input triggers a distinct tone, creating a shared, office-wide soundscape.
