The Museum of Dating (VALENTINA PERI)

In the 1960s, computerized dating systems appeared in the Anglo-American world, which worked through questionnaires and customized algorithms. The aim of the exhibition "The Museum of Dating" places the contemporary phenomenon of online dating within a spectrum of older technologies, practices, narratives, cultural and media artifacts.
