MyPocket

"Burak Arikan is an artist and designer creating networked systems that evolve with the interactions of people and machines. MyPocket discloses the artist's personal financial records to the world by exploring and revealing essential patterns in the daily transactions of his bank account. These are the records that we usually keep secret, whereas financial institutions intensively analyze them to score our credibility. Archived on the site, the artist's two years of spending history is analyzed by the custom software to predict future spending; these predictions sometimes determine his future choices, creating a system in which both the software and the artist adapt to one another. Influenced by today's techno-cultural milieu, MyPocket presents a hybrid interface to a living physical/digital process." -- From Turbulence
