Matchmaking

Description

Matchmaking is an experimental apparatus that connects strangers to observe unexpected chemical reactions. Self-proclaimed matchmakers brandish masses of profiles and intuition, peddling miracles mixed with hope and anxiety. What is actually provided is mostly a chorus of awkward silences and forced smiles. In the end, the perfect marriage is between the algorithm and the revenue model. People gather seeking love, only to be consumed as cogs in a business model.
