This project aimed to create a unique generative art piece based on a person's Facebook activity, the most popular social media when the project was developed. The inspiration for this piece was mandalas and Sacred Geometry, which propose finding a balance between an individual, their unconscious, and the Universe through understanding nature's math relationships. Moreover, a mandala's arrangement relies on recursivity, a strong factor of this project: a piece that comes from Facebook data and can be shared back on it. The colours and complexity of each piece were related to the person's activity on Facebook. The project was designed as a smartphone app but was not published due to the changing Facebook API and new data privacy laws.
