CONCEPT
Research Question
How can an programmed event of chance create a reason for people to interact with each other?
An installation to connect people. You will be scanned / photographed and linked to a person in the database, based on your appearance, at that moment
Inspiration
Binary Prints by Alex Trochut
[1]
Two pictures silkscreen printed over each other. With normal light you see one picture, but when you put out the light you see another picture shining bright.
Nice idea to show your connection?

An installation to connect people. You will be scanned / photographed and linked to a person in the database, based on your appearance, at that moment >What does your appearance say about your personality? >Are there many similarities in the way people look? (Haircut, colour, sort: sweater / jacket) based on the database / can we see certain patterns / trends?
Researching the possible ways of connecting nowadays, and how this can be enhanced / changed. >What kind of role does the change of fashion play in the way people are connected >Did the people know each other yet? >Can people see the database? If so, how will it be presented? Search function? >How much info do we display per person? >Idea: printing "businesscard" of your match > what info will be on there? >Displaying the database. When you are photographed you will see people highlighted, based on your appearance (for example, all people wearing a black sweater) > creating non obvious connections
