OpenMind Art Exhibition 2026

What does artificial intelligence see when you share how you feel?

OpenMind is a public art exhibition at Silo 6, Wynyard Quarter, Auckland, on 20 and 21 June 2026. Entry is free.

Every artwork on display was generated from a real person's emotional journal entry, written through the EmoEx Mental Health Companion's FeelLog feature. Moments of grief, calm, tension, joy, isolation, connection. Each one transformed into a unique visual work, and shown with full user consent.

This is not about diagnosis. It's about reflection, conversation, and finding a new way to see what can be hard to put into words.

Visitors are invited to move through the works at their own pace, in a setting designed to be calm, accessible and thoughtful. A selection of artworks will also be available through an online auction. All proceeds go to our two charity partners: Youth in Transition, helping young people at risk find their way back to a life worth living, and The Runway Foundation, providing ADHD support, youth development and family assistance across Aotearoa.

Following the exhibition, EmoEx and the AI Health Innovation Hub host the AI in Mental Health Forum 2026 on Thursday 25 June at Auckland Hospital, Grafton. A focused one-day programme for clinicians, researchers, policymakers and digital health leaders.

OpenMind is presented by EmoEx.
