The above is a clip of an exhibit that was installed at the New York City Museum of Modern Art on Valentine’s Day of this year. From the description in the video upload:
The interactive installation “I Want You To Want Me”, by Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar, commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art, for their “Design and the Elastic Mind” exhibition.
I Want You To Want Me explores the search for love and self in the world of online dating. It chronicles the world’s long-term relationship with romance, across all ages, genders, and sexualities, using real data collected from Internet dating sites every few hours.
The piece is presented on a 56″ high-resolution touch-screen, hanging vertically on the wall, and was installed at MoMA on February 14, 2008, Valentine’s Day.
It’s no longer on display, but for those who didn’t manage to see it, the video is pretty powerful.
