Another experiment, called " Important Things," captures every click as a 32x32 pixel icon in a massive grid. One experiment, " scrapscreen," made a scrapbook from your screen over the course of a day: every mouse movement "tore away" that part of the screen and saved it to a continually overlapping image. This performance also lasted a year, over the course of 2011.Īfter working with text for "keytweeter," I started exploring visual equivalents. They came to a compromise where he would keep the camera on, but covered. As a professor at NYU, he had some trouble while at school due to privacy concerns. I learned that I was more honest, with myself and with others, when I knew everyone could see what I was saying.Īfter keytweeter, I started working on a project with Wafaa Bilal called " 3rdi." He told me he wanted to implant a camera on the back of his head that would upload a geotagged image to the internet every minute, as an exploration of "photography without a photographer." So I worked with Wafaa to create a system that made this possible. I learned that every conversation belongs to all the parties involved, so I put disclaimers in my emails. Over that year, I learned a lot about myself and what "privacy" means. Keytweeter was a custom keylogger that tweeted every 140 characters I typed. What if people could see every bank transaction you made? Or read every email you wrote? I started answering these questions for myself with " keytweeter," a yearlong performance starting in June 2009. In " Thoughts on total openness of information," Dan Paluska brainstorms about the possibility of posting all your "personal" information online, asking what the repercussions would be.

In early 2009 I read an article on radical openness.
