Sentimetrics
Kikos believes that emotion is a complex socio & bio psychological experience of an individual's state of mind as our "emo" status interacts with biochemical and environmental influences.

Kikos Papadopoulos’s SENTIMETRICS project is an experiment that aims to observe the way in which humans adapt their emotions to fit in with the norms of every situation. The important and distinctive role the Sentimental measurement has in advertising, in politics and the motivation process inspires him to go more in-depth within the project.
