We are more and more dependent on our smartphones as a way to maintain our social contacts. Notification systems determine the attention we pay to them.

Stay In Touch is a plant connected to a chat applica- tion. It analyzes texts and categorizes the emotion that comes out of them. When a message contains an emotion, the plant gets agitated and acts as a no- tification. Each emotion generates a different choreo- graphy. For example, when placed on a desk, it filters the user’s notification flow and the user chooses to pick up his phone or not, according to his own desire. The user then becomes fully aware of the relationship he shares with his online friends.
