Turbulence Commission: "I'm Not Stalking You; I'm Socializing: Black
& White" by Liz Filardi
http://turbulence.org/works/stalkingsocial/blacknwhite
One of the original cases of criminal stalking in America is retold
within the framework of a social network called "Black & White",
which consists of two mirrored profiles, those of Laura Black and
Richard Farley. The website extrapolates on the tongue-and-cheek
usage of the term "stalking" to describe the accepted social
protocol, a far cry from the original behavior that, in this case,
lead to a massacre at a booming Silicon Valley company in 1988. This
project points to new and different levels of trust, privacy and
social order in our networked society, tells the story behind the
first Anti-Stalking Law passed in California in 1991 in the language
and structure of networks, and tragically binds together two
tormented Americans, once at opposite ends of an ineffective
restraining order.
