Well if you wanted to try it out, you could at the Museum of Modern Art in New York with Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar's new interactive mixed media installation "I WANT YOU TO WANT ME".
The project (NOT, APPARENTLY, NAMED AFTER THE 1977 SONG BY CHEAP TRICK), allows gallery goers to browse through a compilation of online dating profiles by interacting with balloons on a 56 touch sensitive sky. Aside from being neat, the project illustrates just how similar all the different people who date on the internet are by organizing the balloons into different groups based on the opening lines used in their profiles. Each balloon exhibits a different sort of behavior depending on it's classification.
For the MoMA as well as the artists, exploring online dating gave interesting insight into how individuals use technology to tweak their identity in a group. "IT ALLOWS YOU TO BE INCREDIBLY HONEST AND A TOTAL LIAR," said Paola Antoelli, the head curator of the MoMA exhibit.
How do you feel having an internet persona affects you and others? Is internet dating helping people reflect upon themselves more readily? Is it allowing us to explore more deeply who we wish to be, but with less commitment and repercussion? Feel free to tell Datedaily your thoughts!
