Schandefreudemetertest is an interactive experience that takes place thanks to a machine, consisting of six screens, an eye-tracker and a printer. The experience resembles a scientific test, whose purpose is to explore human morbidity and the concept of schadenfreude (the pleasure driven by others' misfortunes), in its multiple emotional and social implications.
      The user rests his chin on a special support and watches a series of videos on the screens, one of which concerns the death of one or more people. If the attention lingers long enough on the violent video, another screen will start broadcasting death videos and so on. The eye-tracker records the subject's attention shifts and returns a printed report, where a graph and other data, illustrate the result of the test.
      The project was featured on SpeculativeEdu, on FuorisaloneTV and exhibited at Triennale Milano.
