I want you to want me is an interactive installation, presented as an interactive installation, displayed on a 56” high-resolution touch screen, hung vertically on a wall in a dark room. On screen is an interactive sky, whose weather (sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, etc.) can be controlled by the viewer.

Through the sky float hundreds of blue (male) and pink (female) balloons, each representing a single dating profile. The brighter balloons are younger people; the darker balloons older.

The piece has five formal movements: Who I Am, What I Want, Snippets, Matchmaker, and Breakdowns. Take a look at the beautiful screens generated by this data.

It was commissioned by New York’s Museum of Modern Art for their Design and the Elastic Mind show.
