Using real postings extracted from millions of online blogs, visitors to the project can surf through tens of thousands of specific romantic relationships in which one person has \"dumped\" another. The project's graphical tools reveal the astonishing similarities, unique differences, and underlying patterns of these failed relationships, providing both peculiarly analytic and sympathetically intimate perspectives onto the diversity of global romantic pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDumpster\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas created by Golan Levin, Kamal Nigam and Jonathan Feinberg and made possible by support from the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/artport.whitney.org\/commissions\/the-dumpster\/%3Ca%20HREF%3D%22http:\/\/artport.whitney.org\/%22%20TARGET=%22_blank%22%3EWhitney%20\"\u003eWhitney Artport\u003c\/a\u003e, the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tate.org.uk\/netart\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTate Online\u003c\/a\u003e, and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.intelliseek.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eIntelliseek\u003c\/a\u003e.

These breakups were obtained from web logs (\"blogs\") posted by people on the Internet. At least half of the authors of these breakups were American teenagers between the ages of 13 and 19. Approxmately seventy percent of the breakup authors were identified as female, while roughly fifteen percent were identified as male.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe breakup data for the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDumpster\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas kindly provided by\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.intelliseek.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eIntelliseek\u003c\/a\u003e, the company behind\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.blogpulse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBlogPulse\u003c\/a\u003e. Blog posts were collected by issuing queries to BlogPulse's search engine using words and phrases indicative of breakups. For example, posts containing phrases such as \"broke up\" or \"dumped me\" were considered likely initial candidates. The resulting several hundred thousand posts were scored by a machine learning classifier trained to recognize posts about specifically\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eromantic\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebreakups, in an effort to eliminate (for example) posts about rock bands breaking up. From the remainder, the twenty thousand posts with the highest classification scores were selected for inclusion in the interactive visualisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing custom language-analysis software, the text of each post was computationally evaluated in order to determine many different characteristics of the breakup and the just-ended relationship. These included factual characteristics (e.g. was someone in the relationship cheating? Did the author instigate the breakup, or did the author's partner?), emotional characteristics (e.g. does the author appear to be angry, depressed, or relieved?), and other common features of romantic breakups (e.g. was this a \"repeat breakup\"? Have the former partners decided to remain friends?). Where possible, the age and gender of the author of the post were extracted and\/or determined. All of these characteristics are then used as a means for computing and indicating the \"similarity\" of breakups within the interactive interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Golan Levin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52458847142215,"sku":"GL0011","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/4257\/2871\/files\/15563_golanlevin_top_withtext.jpg?v=1759405178"},{"product_id":"seeing-voices-59","title":"Seeing Voices #59","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeeing Voices\u003c\/em\u003e is a new series of AI images generated by the performance \u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lauren-mccarthy.com\/voice-in-my-head\"\u003eVoice In My Head\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, a collaboration with Kyle McDonald.
