My project "love city" deals with love in a situation where the earth is facing a collapse. The Earth as we know it today is no longer habitable and the elite has carefully selected a group of people they took with them to another planet to carry on humanity. The majority is left on earth waiting for armageddon.
To soften the blow they created “Love City”, a place in another dimension where the people who were left on this planet can live until the earth's resources run out.
To give rest of life a satisfying meaning and purpose, they have programmed this dimension to deal with love only. Love becomes currency and everything you do is translated into love points. To get increased access to various facilities in "love city" you need love points. You will get these points by succeeding in algorithm-based love training programmed by the makers.
In this project I want to investigate what true love is in comparison to system-oriented love. All we want in life is love, but what we get back from technological advances is instagram and other algorithm-based programs. We may find the optimal partner through these platforms, but is there any downside to these programs? Can these platforms be used to manipulate and control people?
And is love used, which is man's strongest motivation speculatively?
