In a world where hacking into a dating site to increase your compatibility with other profiles is becoming more and more common, how will the increasingly scientific understanding of love impact the way we see ourselves and form relationships with others? Science says our immune system genes play a significant role in how we feel attracted to others; and labs all around the world are offering DNA compatibility tests to both singles and couples. Based on my own attempt at profiling my most scientifically compatible match through collaboration with geneticists, psychologists and a neuroscientist, the Match Clinic is an ongoing project exploring the various different avenues surrounding the idea of quantified relationship compatibility.

The Match Clinic is both a database and a clinic. By using cutting edge scientific instruments, its promise is to find the best match for its clients from the database, based on current scientific understanding of inter-personal relationship. Genetic, psychological and physiological compatibility are determined using a number of scientific tests designed to reveal useful information about each client’s personality and health. The Match Clinic goal is to increase their chances of achieving a high compatibility score with their future partner.
