“pplkpr” by Kyle McDonald and Lauren McCarthy (2015)

pplkpr is an app that also poses as an art piece that tracks, analyzes, and auto-manages your relationships. Using a smartwatch, pplkpr monitors your physical and emotional response to the people around you. It watches your heart beat so it can sense when youre stressed, excited or calm, then it inquires who youre with. Based on that data it uses your facebook to either repel (ex. unfriend) or attract (ex. poke) that person that will optimize your relationship.
