Online Dating: Feelings in Flux |
The market for love on the Internet is expansive. The possibilities are plentiful. We share our dreams and present our most loveable qualities to help complete our quest to be loved and to love. While browsing this market, something other than what we were seeking may appear before us.
Cultural historian Nina Bratland has done research in the terrain of dating and interviewed people with experience of it. The essay Online Dating: Feelings in Flux is the basis of this exhibition.
Texts chosen from the collection of 19 interviews have been adapted for audio presentation. In the exhibition you can listen to these stories and come a little closer to the experiences of other people.
