Hi Marc, Actually I started making the app to my get data to experiment with network graphs. But yeah, everything influences everything. This could be a counterpart or something you do before you go to suicidemachines.org. Or I could have been influenced Cory Arcangel's Friendster suicide which suicidemachines.org was probably influenced by.
I have been thinking a lot about the interplay between functionality and metaphor, and whether or not political artworks ever reach someone who doesn't already agree with them. The framework I draw around this work is motivated by an interest in creating conversations around issues while attracting non-art audiences. But again, none of us operate in a vacuum. I only receive netbehavior in the daily digest but would enjoy talking about this more.
