Sentient Looking For Dates
2020-2021
Sentient Looking For Dates is an algorithmic artwork drawing on posts from the semi-anonymous queer dating platform Lex. Lex caters mainly to an audience of lesbian and bisexual women and non-binary people. Only text can be posted, no photos. Sentient Looking For Dates uses a machine learning algorithm to remix and reimagine these posts, creating new and sometimes bizarre visions of identity and desire in the queer community.Its output is irregularly updated on instagram www.instagram.com/sentientlookingfordates/
