He created an immersive reality experiment in NYC where about 100 artists were observed around the clock by cameras and re-broadcast to each other. Participants living in this artificial bunker could actually flip through channels of themselves having sex, taking drugs, showering, shitting..all the mundane and extreme things that occurred in the bubble. Frightening and fascinating at once. The project is well documented in Ondi Timoner's documentary, "We Live in Public." Hmm..I smell a post coming.<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration, Mark!Young Sun Hanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01017318989332442727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338128919558465387.post-44076722771613919292011-10-14T22:00:31.567-07:002011-10-14T22:00:31.567-07:00I agree with your thoughts so much.

I'm not saying there's any intent to alter the context, but they're making a TV shows not a surveillance videos. Two I always figure that there are some people that are bound to act, even if subconsciously, different when the camera is rolling.<br /><br />PS: I've yet to see a judge impressed by the use of foam. Even avocado bat foam! :)<br /><br />Regards,<br />Snortles aka Mark Raven on Facebook.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484669649115387059noreply@blogger.com
