Review of We Live in Public (2009) by Angelisa J — 31 Jan 2012
This film is a must see for all those living and actively participating in this digital reality. It's about surveillance, privacy, identity, and the desire for fame, our hyper-connectivity and the possible disconnectedness it leads to.
This film is what Facebook would look like if it were a documentary. It's Neuromancer meets Mark Zuckerberg, and reality TV. It leaves one with the feeling that maybe we don't need all of the surveillance.
What kind of people have living in public created? And would we change if we could. Reality is an experiment and the internet is just a programmed environment. A digital extension of the bigger experiment.
Will we ignore that truth, just like we now ignore the cameras?
