Personas | Metropath(ologies) | An installation by Aaron Zinman

Quote:

Personas shows you how the Internet sees you. It is a critique of data mining, revealing the computer's uncanny insights and inadvertent errors. It is meant for the viewer to reflect on our current and future world where digital histories are as important, if not more important, than oral histories, and computational methods of condensing our digital traces are largely opaque and socially ignorant.

Very cool, artsy data mining project out of MIT. I think some of you will find it very interesting...

As vague as any google search without eyes to see the info. Did a check on a name, saw info from several different people with the same name, so rather worthless.

The web design is sick, but the concept fails.

Sucks that I share names with a model.

By far more entertaining to put in your WoW character's name than your own. Pretty dumb.
