The exhibition of four designer-artists translates digital content into tangible objects and experiences. It invites us to reflect on how we receive, process, and make sense of the endless waves of visual information flooding our eyes. It is increasingly difficult to distinguish between the IRL (in real life) and the digital world, as digital content surges forward without a pause, constantly competing for our attention. The exhibition uses the metaphor of feeding to explore how short-form platforms algorithmically spoon-feed visual and emotional stimuli to their users. Like food, this digital intake shapes our mind, emotions, and social consciousness. Through moving image, sculpted posters, prints, and interactive works, Matleena Honkanen, Yi-Cing Huang, Samu Pitkänen, and Din Yam examine the connection between materiality, bodily interaction, and immaterial experience of the feed. In doing so, they seek to disrupt the phone-to-eye or hand-to-mouth consumption of visual culture. The title Gut Feeling points to our instinctive reactions to digital overconsumption: the immediate, often subconscious emotional responses that surface before we can rationalise them. It highlights the tension between what we absorb, what we reject, and what remains unresolved beneath the constant flow of images. While reliable intuition demands presence and awareness, constant scrolling floods our awareness, stacking images upon images before an impression truly lands. What happens to these bodily responses that remain unresolved?

Designers / bios Din Yam is a graphic designer and textile designer working closely with tangible materials. In an increasingly digitalised era, she explores the value of physical experiences, focusing on how materiality creates connections between people, objects, and spaces. Inspired by the details of everyday life, she transforms her observations into a visual language through vibrant forms, bold colours, and material exploration. Her practice reflects a deep appreciation for storytelling, where the interplay of textures, materials, and visuals becomes a way to communicate emotions, memories, and narratives. Yi-Cing Huang is a multimedia designer working across print and digital media. Her practice seeks to bring design closer to lived experience within an increasingly hyperreal world, exploring the intersection of art, technology, and humanity through a gentle, sentimental approach to storytelling. Drawing from the subtle moments of everyday life and the connections humans share, both with one another and with the natural world, her works emphasize introspective and interpersonal feeling, inviting viewers to pause and attune to what is already present. Matleena Honkanen is an artist and graphic designer whose work mixes coding with printmaking. She visually challenges dominant power structures with imaginative as well as humorous approaches. By documenting concrete and intangible situations, messages, and signs, she seeks to find answers to her personal questions and uncertainties surrounding social behaviour and public signaling. Can one find clarity on the ritualistic behaviours constantly present while existing online through adapting imaginary systems of belief Samu Pitkänen is a graphic designer, illustrator, video jockey, and artist. Samu works with overlooked materials and imitation, both digital and physical, to create visual outcomes grander than the sum of their parts. By looking at everything mundane, cheap, or fake as a possible starting point for something interesting, this scavenger mindset extends to the thinking part of the work. Samu is driven by questions like: What determines good quality/ taste/ class, and how can I achieve these with the cheapest tricks possible?
