The project was based on data I gathered by taking a lengthy survey about my facebook® “friends.” I asked myself questions ranging from personal (do I know this person’s phone number?) to generic (can I recognize this person by their name alone?) and assigned each of my cyber-friends a score ranging from 1-25 (those that scored less than 1 were de-friended). Each score was then plotted on a color spectrum. I then made a wax bust for each person in the color that corresponded to their score.
Colin Pinegar’s BestFriends
Mr. Pinegar’s Facebook network mapped from purple (close friends) to red (impersonal) and laid them out in a physical map.
Made of wax busts of his head, naturally.
