synopsis
Ten years in the making and culled from 5000 hours of footage, “We Live In Public” reveals the effect the web is having on our society, as seen through the eyes of "the greatest Internet pioneer you’ve never heard of", artist, futurist and visionary Josh Harris. Award-winning director Ondi Timoner documented his tumultuous life for more than a decade to create a riveting, cautionary tale of what to expect as the virtual world inevitably takes control of our lives. Harris, often called the "Warhol of the Web", founded Pseudo.com, the first Internet television network during the infamous dot-com boom of the 1990s. He also curated and funded the project "Quiet" in an underground bunker in NYC where over 100 people lived together on camera for 30 days at the turn of the millennium. With “Quiet,” Harris proved how we willingly trade our privacy for the connection and recognition we all deeply desire, but with technological advancements such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter, becomes more elusive. Through his experiments, including a six-month stint living with his girlfriend under 24-hour electronic surveillance, which led to his mental collapse, Harris demonstrated the price we pay for living in public.
