    Since all we can see on Facebook is just profiles, I thought I’d share, in the form of a gallery, some of the “unusual” ones the [loveMachine] has brought me to interact with. This is a gallery of caricatures, of course. It doesn’t point to anyone in particular, although you might recognize a friend or…

  • You should not post things that you don’t want to be liked

    This may seem obvious and biased, since it might only apply on Facebook. We do have different degrees of intimacy with our relations. Yet another obvious statement.

    BXL swings in the cracks, which for now has only a Facebook page (damnit!) describes itself as: Collective who up-cycles waste (scrap wood, discarded domestic furniture, …) into parasite interventions with the aim to vitalize public spaces. For obvious reasons and relations to my uHbench project, I immediately fell in love with this group and…

  • The frequency of love

    Exactly 10 days after the official launch of the [loveMachine], I thought I might give you a little data feedback of the project. Yes, the graphic displayed here, is the real one (made with 3d.js). As you can see, I’m running the script every 3 hours or so and the number of likes varies, going…
