[lbo-talk] We Live in Public

[Dennis Claxton]

I don't think I get this.  How is this different from performance art 
projects that have been going since long before the internet, except 
that it's less interesting?

We Live In Public is the story of the internet's revolutionary impact 
on human interaction as told through the incredible and tumultuous 
life story of internet pioneer and visionary Josh Harris. Both a 
visionary and a walking cautionary tale, Harris proved how in the 
not-so-distant future of life online, we willingly trade our privacy 
for the connection and recognition we all deeply desire. Through his 
experiments, including a six-month stint living under 24-hour live 
surveillance online which led him to mental collapse, he demonstrated 
the price we may well pay for living in public. (USA, 2009)
