Turn your everyday life into a story– document/record some aspect of your daily existence and put it online. Think about the protagonists/artists participating in Josh Harris’ “We Live In Public” experiments, Nicolas Felton’s work, Hasan Elahi’s sousveillance project, and Jill Magid’s Evidence Locker. How do issues of privacy, honesty, exhibitionism, performance, authenticity play into the decisions you make about what to show and how to reveal it? What makes the best story?
You should be documenting yourself /your story– in writing, photographs, video, whatever form appeals to you. I’d like to post this material to your new wordpress blogs. However, if you are having trouble with your blog, we will go over how to make posts and manage different types of media in class next week. Email me with any questions!
