This project aims to develop interfaces for expressing and conveying women's menstrual pain, thus improving our understanding of the experience of menstruation on the body and promoting women's well-being. The artwork consists of a "Research Archive", including background research, user interviews and body maps created by participants. Additionally, it includes an interface prototype for expressing and recording the (unpleasant) experiences of menstruation. The interface visualizes and analyzes the location, intensity and type of menstrual pain expressed through a humanoid interface embedded with capacitive sensors and microphones.
