Art centre Chapter is showcasing a series of candy-coloured paintings in their bar from November 20 to January 25.<\/p>\n

The exhibition, titled #givemeeverythingandnothingbaby, explores how the internet creates \u2018junk emotions\u2019 and the need for constant validation.<\/p>\n

What have kittens got to do with texting?<\/p><\/div>\n

Artist Magda Archer draws her inspiration from language used on the internet and \u2018text talk.\u2019 She also explores social media\u2019s ability to create pseudo-friendships and false promises.<\/p>\n

Magda says: \u201cWe spend our time judging and loathing people we don\u2019t know, trading in junk emotions and disposable vocabulary that doesn\u2019t really mean anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
