The first dating site: Macth.com was launched in 1995. Almost a decade later, in 2004, OkCupid came along and, two years later, ParPerfeito appeared in Brazil. Tinder debuted in 2012, bringing even more changes and a flood of similar ones.... I did this painting on the spur of the moment, because I was newly separated, starting to explore dating apps and I was actually just painting an apple when my mind associated the image of the apple with the Tinder logo and then.... well... there came that lot of associations, paradigms and EVERYTHING made a lot of sense and still does.
The most interesting thing is that the emergence and growth of this new way of finding love takes place at the same time as the turn of the century, which naturally inspired the name of the work. God knows what we'll be like in 2100, when the century turns again... just think! ; )
