Description:
The number of likes or follows you have assumes your value in the social media world. We are so occupied by the number of likes we get on any given post. In fact, we often go as far in asking people to like our posts. This in a way has evolved into a type of “monetary value,” exchanging likes for likes or follows for follows.
In Emergence, Miguel Lope Inumerable produced a time-based piece that makes use of these "likes" as a trigger in generating a digital drawing which will be projected projection on the wall. A software collects the data periodically to update the drawing. The data, where this drawing is based, is derived from the likes accumulated from the Facebook Page connected to the software. Every time a person likes the page, another line is formed, thus, transforming the whole image into something new. The resulting piece, at any given time, is a collaboration of the artist and the people who contribute to its existence.
