Released in 2009, Grindr transformed how queer men relate to one another - evolving a rich history of cruising from an activity that takes place in public urban spaces to an internet-age instant-gratification activity occurring in the privacy of one’s own bedroom.

please take one is an installation that reflects the ephemeral and transactional nature of these digital interactions, printing personal Grindr chat histories as visitors pass. The piece transforms these fleeting exchanges into tangible "receipts" that visitors are encouraged to take, blending the lines between private communication and communal experience.
