Fascinating stuff for an artist / social networker to think about. Beyond that, I'd love to see an application that let us put photos of a group of people together to let us see what the collective "us" looks like.
Thanks for telling us about this!

My pleasure. I find it fascinating as well. Regarding your "collective us" idea, that's another idea for a facebook application :-)

As the artist in question, I would love to see the develpoment of a facebook aplication. If anyone want to develop one with me, dont hesitate to get in touch.
The interesting thing is, will these virtual offspring be limited to just pixels or could they develop some sort of personality? Is it possible that these beings could somehow be infused with a discrete synthesis of both parents ideas and beleifs? Is memtic breeding online maybe the answer to the turin test?
Any of you who live in Tel Aiv, check out the in depth (and very conceptual) interview with me this friday in "Ha'ir".

oops.. Of course I meant memetic breeding. Trust me to misspell the one word in the reply that might need to be looked up :)

Mike: I would love to see such an application on Facebook. As you say, apart from the actual visual, it would be interesting to see if perhaps based on the tags people add to their profiles, the digital child could develop some sort of personality based on the "genetics" of the two members who created him.
