Shining a light on human emotion and communication.
We feel fine project

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

At the core of the exhibition is an interactive exhibition intended to connect the community through the exploration and expression of feelings. One element of the exhibition is a projection of a website developed by American based computer experts Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar where technology is used to make connections with both ourselves and others in the community through the warmth of human emotion. 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 display of colour and shape to represent the myriad of human emotions from around the world. 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...
