FAST COMPANY - Mar 18 - OkCupid's algorithm go up for sale at the the world's first algorithm auction. The auction is hosted by the online art platform Artsy in partnership with the programming collective Ruse Laboratories. The auction is a "move to celebrate the art of pure code and designate algorithms as an exciting new category for collectors". Seven lots have been donated for the auction, including OkCupid's Compatibility Calculation, the algorithm the dating site uses to match its users. For the OkCupid lot, the winner will not actually buy the rights to the code, but will receive two artistic interpretations of the algorithm mathematically expressed on paper.
