The Office Stare Machine showcases every single time a character speechlessly breaks the 4th wall and stares at the camera. It then indexes those stares into an interactive machine encompassing the full range of human emotional expression.
Joe Sabia spent 1.5 years finding every single stare and worked with Aaron Rasmussen to manually code each stare into over 800 different emotions in a complexly architected system.
It is the sister site of THE OFFICE TIME MACHINE which takes the 1,300 cultural references made and places them in an interactive time machine.
Yes, in fact, we made some awards you can give to the various members of the cast based on those patterns. Maybe if we send enough, they’ll retweet.
