Bungel-O-Mat - Floor Stolk

Find out how to reconnect with old friends – by paying with one of your redundant social media contacts.

​

The Bungel-O-Mat is an interactive installation that allows you to create a voucher to reconnect with old friends, classmates or colleagues. The twist is that you "pay" for these vouchers by sacrificing "redundant social media contacts"—people you haven't communicated with in ages but still passively follow on social media.
