How do you carry your political feelings, and how do you want others to 
carry theirs? Feel Tank and its collaborators map the affective 
expressions of various publics to reveal hidden histories and create new 
ones. Feel Tank Chicago, a collective, acts as a counterpart to think 
tanks. Through objects, performances and activities, organizers Lauren 
Berlant, Debbie Gould, Mary Patten and Rebecca Zorach describe the 
landscape of political emotion and ask viewers to discuss their 
feelings, big and small, about politics.


         


        Unmarked Package: A Case for Feeling Insecure

By the Institute for Infinitely Small Things
Video editing by Mike Hall & Nicole Siggings

In May 2007, the Institute toted hundreds of unmarked packages (marked 
"UNMARKED PACKAGE") around Chicago sites including the South Side, Daley 
Plaza, Millennium Park, Little Village, Douglas Park and Hyde Park. At 
each site, the Institute interviewed members of the public about 
anxiety, insecurity and fear in public spaces and produced a video 
research report with the results. Watch it at the Pathogeographies show 
or, in a few weeks, check it out on YouTube.

conducts creative, participatory research that aims to temporarily 
transform public spaces dominated by corporate and political agendas. 
Using performance and conversation, we investigate social and political 
"tiny things". These have included corporate ads, street names, and 
post-9/11 security terminology. The Institute markets dissent through 
its research reports in the form of maps, books and videos. This 
interdisciplinary group has a varied and open membership.
