The dating platform Tinder allows users to find matches within a minimum search range of one mile or more. Through strategically positioned Tinder accounts, the installation "1 Mile Away" limits this radius to the exhibition area and constantly searches for profiles within.
Trilateration is used to automatically position profiles so that their search radius intersects directly in the installation. Usually this method is used by law enforcement to track mobile phones. If a Tinder profile appears in the immediate surroundings of the installation, it is printed live as a sticker.
