(This is an art experiment.)
This is an artist’s response.
The loneliness epidemic working -- by coincidence or by design -- alongside the advances in technology that promise the intimacy of a human (but without the human) pose the greatest threat to gender relations in history.
The art of flirting faces extinction.**
To flirt is to engage in playful banter, verbal and/or non-verbal, as an expression of attraction or interest. Unreciprocated banter falls outside the scope of flirting.
To be a good flirt one must be committed to the dynamics of the present.
To desire a life with good flirts, is to consume art that displays the play of a good flirt.
We will build evaluations to bring awareness and to improve one’s skill level of flirting.
We will curate experiences to play with and practice the art of flirting.
We will design presentations of expansive* exposure of good flirting.
*While art is the soul of this project, proven scientific methods will be used to shape and guide our offerings to the public as well as to collect data and measure results. To contain the cost and management of resources needed to build evaluations, curate experiences and design presentations, we will limit the population of this experiment. The Flirt Project will target Blacks only.
