MYPOCKET traces simultaneously a personal history of expenditures and universal financial forecast. The artist has meticulously retained physical and virtual evidence of all his expenditures, creating a database visualization of their passage and custom software algorithm of their probability of recurrence. The Transactions Feed archives all of his economic interactions (thereby making all his personal financial records public), and posts their percentaged predictions. The Transactions Graph is a dynamic representation of the temporal and relational aspects of these transactions. Each receipt of his expenditures are then marked a stamp of the predicted probability with which the transaction would have happened, transforming it into a unique “predicted object”.

User Labor proposes an open data structure, User Labor Markup Language (ULML), to outline the metrics of user participation in social web services. Its aim is to construct criteria and context for determining the value of user labor for distribution.
A simple ULML document looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ulml version="0.1">
<channel>
<record>
<actions>
<item name="photo" type="upload">120</item>
<item name="photo" type="tag">330</item>
</actions>
<reactions>
<item name="photo" type="comment">15</item>
</reactions>
<network>
<item name="connection">256</item>
</network>
</record>
</channel>
</ulml>
ULML actions, reactions, and network together represent the sum of a user’s activities to create, improve, and maintain their existence in social web. See ULML Spec and ULML examples for more detail.
