An Experimental New Dating Site Matches Singles Based on Their Browser Histories

Unlike most dating applications, which impose a monthly or annual fee at paid levels, there is only one time batch of 9 euros to subscribe to granting unlimited users; A free option that limits users to five games. Depoter says he does not want to use users by pushing them on a frequent basis. When I suggest that this type of payment model is often unheard today, it is declining. “I am an artist, I like to do things differently.”

Early reviews and reactions have been mixed. “Super Weird”, a developer noticed on X.

Another user in the search for the product said: “This is the most violent idea,” said another user in searching for the product. “I love boldness.”

“It is a good idea to see the privacy concentration from the beginning given the sensitivity of some of these data,” a Bluesky programmer was published.

The biggest concern of users – is fine – is about privacy and safety of users, and given the amount of personal data that Deposter requires people to skip, these issues are also in his mind. The site surveys up to 5,000 search operations in the modern browser or returns to the maximum storage of the search record, which may be several years, but never exceeds the maximum number of entries. (Browse data can not be downloaded from hidden mode sessions). Depoter Firebase, an open source Google tool to develop artificial intelligence applications, uses to store and manage data.

“Not exposed to the Internet.” Deposter says about artificial intelligence, which says it happens locally. “I don’t want to expose any browser history for another company.”

Indeed, there were complaints about checking the late email and the site did not allow users to delete their profile; DePoster says he has since repaired these issues. The browser is not currently allowed to download images, but DePoster is working to change this, and says it is planning to implement more features in the coming months, including an application to facilitate communication between communications and the recommendation feature that indicates the potential first history sites.

The idea was originally to DePoster in 2016 at V2, a center of art and experimental technology in Rotterdam. He was hosting a workshop that explored unique links between the attendees who were aware of his work and who agreed to share the date of the research for a year.

The nature of the art of DePoster as a digital concentration sought to interrogate the sub -text of hidden communications, with a “critical and humor” approach to some of the most urgent questions in his generation. Monitoring, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and social media are subjects of repetition through its exploration. “Difficult topics”, he says when we talk about zooming. “But there is no big message. I want to leave it open. If there is anything, I want to show what is possible with technology in a fun way.”

In 2018, in a series entitled “Jaywalking”, he converted directly monitoring to video art, forcing viewers to face the use of public data as a means of invasion of privacy. He continued this with Die with me, which is the chat room application that can only be accessed when your phone is less than 5 percent of the battery life; Although Deporator is fast to reject the final interpretations of his art, he reads as a comment on the value of time and how we choose to use it when one knows that he works. For those who can look beyond the shock of the first Brower Dating, the question is also an urgent question: What if the volatility that we try to hide hard are the things that can bring us together?

DePoster, 34, does not claim to be any kind of teacher that dates back to. “I am not a specialist.” He browsed Tinder in the first days of the application but he was with his partner for 10 years. It is considered that despite his work as an artist, the site is not a way to circumvent, and he wants to continue to expand. People have already suggested that it might work better to match potential friends instead of romantic partners. DePoster expects that there will be obstacles but not leakage of sugar; It is difficult for users to visit users to share their personal fears and desires.

He says: “Either people are lovers of the idea, or they are not.” “There is no convincing to them.”
