I Want You to Want Me

Description

This alluring and emotional interactive installation explores the world of online dating. A touch screen displays a sky filled with balloons, each containing a human silhouette representing a real person’s dating profile. Touching a balloon will reveal personal information about the person, and the balloons can be rearranged to highlight different aspects of online dating, including the top turn-ons, the most popular first dates, and people’s biggest desires. Couples are paired algorithmically based on who they are and what they’re looking for.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
