Last Thursday, we opened the exhibition Feelings Inc. in Rotterdam—an international group exhibition featuring works by 10 artists. The selected pieces explore the theme of the "feelings industry," addressing topics such as dating apps that discriminate against men, AI companions that people feel attracted to, and love in the era of the technological turbo-Anthropocene.

The venue, Huidenclub, is a new experimental space dedicated to the production and presentation of contemporary culture.

The exhibition runs until February 15th, 2025, and leading up to Valentine's Day, we will host two symposium days on February 13th and 14th. These sessions will bring together researchers from various Dutch and international universities, along with artists, to delve deeper into four themes:

  • Dating apps

  • AI companions

  • Platform blues (exploring the emotions and sentiments flowing from digital platforms back into society)

  • Human-machine interaction

Practical Information:

  • Location: Huidenclub, Pelgrimsstraat 5C, 3029 BH Rotterdam

  • Exhibition Hours: Wednesday - Sunday, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for the opening of the Feelings Inc. exhibition! If you couldn’t make it, don’t worry! Feelings Inc. will be open until 15 February at the Huidenclub, Rotterdam.

Additionally we would like to invite you for our symposia days, which will be on 13 and 14 February 2025! We have a lineup including workshops, panel talks, performances, and more. Join us in this journey as we seek to foster a deeper understanding of our digital selves and of the balance between connection and vulnerability through art, discussion, and interactive experiences.
