This project is a new suggestion for finding love and friends.
This machine, using my physiognomical preferences,
shows how much I like a person based on appearance factors
such as their similarity to certain animals and their similarity to me.
Physiognomy is a study that has been studied since ancient times,
in which a person’s future or personality is determined based on their facial features.
For example, Aristotle’s theory about the relationship
between what animals we look like and our personality,
or theories about genetic characteristics that say people like people who look similar to them.
This process is similar to the way machines and technologies are currently created.
We no longer know what happens when we press a button on a machine.
The act of being analysed by a machine with a simple, yet,
determined outcome questions the common faith in data provided by technology,
which is ultimately flawed and subjective.
What I tried to convey through this project is that information before being converted into data is produced by humans, but when it delivered through machines, the appearance of human becomes blurred. Despite the appearance of a clean, cold, and precise machine, I stand behind it, a human being who makes mistakes and wrong decisions.
