Can computer conveys feeling?

Wormhole - Information design + installation

Background
Scientist suggest that for alien to travel through space from one galaxy to another galaxy, need more than million of light years. Is it possible for U.F.O to even reach our planet earth? They believed that alien travel through wormhole. Wormhole is a hypothetical hole or "tunnel" connecting two different points in spacetime. It takes lesser time than the normal journey by bending the space but wormhole are highly unstable and might collapse before the spaceship can travel in.(Check this out) Did any alien really landed on our planet before?
Ideation
For my installation, i wanted to use wormhole as my metaphor for time machine. Wormhole, a tunnel that connects two different world, space or dimension. A short-cut, express way to the destination. Using the wormholes, user will be able to take a memory lane down to the past or a trip to the future by collecting two types of data(past tense and future) in the blogosphere or social network sites. It will compare most users love to travel back to time or looking forward for the future.
In a way, it connects us, our emotion and feeling together regardless the timeline of the incident, will happen or had happened, parallel with one and another. By bending the time and space, i hopes this would make the gap of different people closer.
Problem Statement
- People tend to reminiscing the past, hoping for future but forget about present time.
- Can the digital interface able to express feeling?
Research Objectives
- To explore human's feeling and behavior about different paradigm of time.
- To experimental with Benjamin Walter's The work of Art in the age of Mechanical Reproduction theories.

very interesting perspective on timespace factor in technology. it has been much discussed & debated. so you think the notion time has been diminshed/ amplified with the advancement of technology? & how can you use technology to modify the linear experience of time? check out these 2 projects:
1) http://www.futureme.org/
2) http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/projects/sensecam/
this is the best i've seen from you so far, well done & keep it up!
Halo KokYong!
Well for me i think the notion of time has not been diminished nor amplified with the advancement of technology, instead the time coexist with the technology.
Thank you for sharing the links.As for the futureme.org, i came across this site in a magazine last time. I did wrote a letter to my futureself. HAHA.
The sensecam caught my attention. By collecting information from the user's surrounding and snap a picture if there are any changes around the user. Thats really interesting.
These unexpected little thing that trigger something special.
Maybe technology frozen the time and space and the moment.
I think i gonna develop a few ideas for this wormhole concept.
thx you!
