Presenting research and questions developed by TTWF artists in residence Adham Faramawy, Fleur Melbourn (in collaboration with Laura O'Neill), Holly White and Sophie Hoyle; their projects are a culmination of their residency at SPACE, questioning the development towards the naturalising and subsumption of technologies that enable the trading in and simulating of emotional capital.

The human body is commonly accepted as the primary site of subjectivity, empathy and affective processes. However, with the pervasive and increasingly commercial development of Affective Computing, which aims to detect and respond appropriately to users’ emotions and related prosthetic tracking technologies, the breakdown between human and machine is recast in the popular imagination once again.

The This Time With FEELing residency takes a critical approach to this boundary raiding and questions the commercial drive towards the naturalizing and subsumption of technologies that enable the trading in and simulating of algorithmic emotional capital. Presenting outcomes and questions developed by TTWF artists in residence Adham Faramawy, Fleur Melbourn, Holly White and Sophie Hoyle; their projects are a culmination of their residency at SPACE, questioning the development towards the naturalising and subsumption of technologies that enable the trading in and simulating of emotional capital.
