Vibes is a poetic response to doomscrolling. This browser extension (optimized for chrome), takes your browsing activity and runs it through a sentiment analysis library in order to tell you whether or not your content is affecting your mood. The piece serves as a commentary both on doomscrolling culture but also on affective computing and its touted accuracy/inaccuracy. The output is not always accurate and can often serve as a simplistic reflection on human culture and nuance.
