We Feel ...

An Exploration of Human Emotion

4 May – 29 May 2011

Latrobe Regional Gallery is at the heart of the Creative Gippsland Be Inspired Arts Festival. Throughout May this fabulous gallery is the home of 'We Feel…' - an exhibition that explores the communication of emotions. 

At the heart of the exhibition is an interactive installation that explores human emotion on a global scale. We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings online (from blog sites) since 2005. Every few minutes, the system searches the web for occurrences of the phrases "I feel" and "I am feeling". When it finds them, it records the full sentence, and creates a visual representation of the emotions that have been expressed.  We Feel Fine is an artwork authored by everyone. It grows and changes, just as we grow and change, reflecting what's on our blogs, what's in our hearts, what's on our minds.

Visit the gallery and interact with this fantastic installation.  Take the opportunity to create a postcard that communicates what’s in your heart and what’s on your mind.  Attach it to the gallery wall to help create a living ‘emotional map’ of Latrobe Valley and beyond.  Shine a light on how We Feel...
