A More Perfect Union

Studio 360
The World

Artist-programmer R. Luke Dubois has his own map of the U.S., and it’s not colored with red states and blue. Dubois doesn’t need the polls; he gathered his data from 19 million dating profiles. Politics, schmolitics — he wants to know what we really think about. Who’s shy, who’s bored, who’s sexy. And who wants to be spanked. Produced by Studio 360’s Eric Molinsky.
