T.A.F. / the art foundation presents the group exhibition ‘’Fast Paced Feelings’’ which inaugurates in its exhibition space on Thursday 28 March 2024, with participating artists: Dionysios, Lara Nasser, Erifili Doukeli and Marilia Kolymbiri. The exhibition is curated by Katerina Nikolaou. The group exhibition Fast Paced Feelings examines the phenomenon of instant gratification of emotions, through social media.

''Technology proposes itself as the architect of our relationships." Sherry Turkle's provocative opening sentence from her book "Alone Together" (2011) sums up the profound impact of technology on our personal and intimate relationships. This suggestion argues that technology, and more specifically social media, while they are designed to connect us, also play an important role in shaping our psychic world.

This statement remains relevant as technology continues to advance and penetrate almost every aspect of our lives, changing the ways in which we communicate, build relationships and understand the meaning of intimacy. Social media has become the main way people experience the internet - and an important part of how they build and maintain relationships. Navigating this digital world, then, is like a walk through a vast supermarket, where emotions are the purchase products, which are then consumed at a rapid pace.

The exhibition "Fast paced feelings" uses the analogy of a supermarket to delve into the contemporary experience of the rapid consumption of emotions. The term "Fast Feelings" examines the phenomenon of instant gratification of emotions, exploring how social media and social pressures affect the way people experience and express their emotions, often seeking quick solutions or instant gratification. The artists give their own response to the concept of "Fast Feelings", opening an interesting discussion about the rhythm, intensity and perhaps the ephemerality of emotions in today's world.
