Serge Bouchardon’s StoryFace is "a pseudo-dating app that uses facial recognition." The work prompts the user to "log onto" the dating website where they are asked to display "the emotion that best [characterizes] you. The website then presents "the profiles of potential partners. You get to choose and exchange messages with [this] fictional partner while your facial emotions are tracked." The editors Dan Melling and Christopher Wilson note that the work invites us to consider the ways these platforms "in order to find love" ask us "to anticipate the other person’s needs and sacrifice your own feelings." — From New River Journal
