True Blue Love (2005)
Artist: Pierre Proske
True Blue Love (TBL) is a mobile phone social networking experience, designed to explore the politics behind intimate phone-based relations. Using Series 60 Symbian phones, each participant enters the characteristics of their ideal sexual mate into the application. Every time another phone running the application comes within range, a love metric calculates how closely the other person matches the participant's ideal mate. If the match is close, the phones will emit a raucous mating call. The ridiculous sounds function as social ice-breakers, and the unwilling couple may want to discuss what it is that they have in common that triggered the noise.
