Data art and B2B networking installation designed for events. It transforms the attendee list into an interactive 3D galaxy: each person is a star. When someone activates theirs, the installation shows them in real time their top 3 matches at the event, looking for real complementarity (founder with investor) rather than same-sector similarity. Three versions of one product: the installation (Fintech 2026, 3,045 attendees), the tool in the attendee's phone (SmartCity Expo, 6,350 people, in production) and the version that complies with Chile's personal-data law 21.719, in design. ![Image of the project StarMatch: Networking Data Art](https://apexdesign.cl/projects/starmatch.webp) ## Project file - **Year:** 2025 - **Family:** [Installations](https://apexdesign.cl/en/files) - **Author:** [Alexander Frings](https://apexdesign.cl/en/about), Design Engineer with an MSc in Innovation and Design - **Map:** [Art, on the digital side](https://apexdesign.cl/en/map) ## Technologies and topics - Data Art - TouchDesigner - 3D Visualization - Interactive Installation - Real-Time - B2B Events - WhatsApp - Datos personales ## Related services - [AI for innovation](https://apexdesign.cl/en/services#ia-para-la-innovacion): Teams and organisations that want to create new solutions (apps, websites, services) and do not know where to start. - [Custom software and apps](https://apexdesign.cl/en/services#software-y-apps-a-medida): A need that no existing tool covers well. ## Related projects - [Romeo & Juliet Flowers: Teatro Municipal](https://apexdesign.cl/en/files/flores-romeo-julieta) (2025), shares TouchDesigner, Interactive Installation, Real-Time: Interactive wall at the Teatro Municipal de Santiago for the Clásica No Convencional gala.
