With Love, RSS is a data-driven installation that utilizes text culled from blogs and a sound clip from The OC. The system continually pulls in text from a Google Blog Search for the exact terms, "I am in love with you" and "I am not in love with you." The resulting text is displayed as a constant barrage of black or white text, respectively, while also used to modulate the sound clip and produce colours and shapes as a bed for the text. The visuals and audio are in a constant state of change as the incoming search results are updated in real-time.
