Feelings Inc. delves into the delicate interplay of vulnerability and connection in online matchmaking and beyond. The project does not take an explicit position for or against the right or possibility to have a certain emotional relationship with a non-human (machine). Rather, she tries to form an opinion about the possible polarizing effects that this could trigger. It attempts to understand the meaning and implications of individualization that is developed through exponential usage and normalization of non- human (machine) relationships. The focus extends beyond dating apps to include embodied AI chatbots like Replika, where people fall in love with an avatar created by Luka inc. and experience emotional loss when the newest update caused a data loss.
Exhibition:
Marie Munk (DK), Inès Sieulle (FR), !Mediengruppe Bitnik (CH), Arvida Byström (SE), Olga Morano (FR/IT), Lawrence Lek (DE), Lynn Hershman Leeson (USA), Ariane Loze (BE), Vytas Jankauskas (CH), Paul Van Hoeydonck (BE)
