A collaborative student project in one of the classes I teach... A large scale public projection project. (please forward) Let me tell you a secret http://letmetellyouasecret.se/ Let me tell you a secret is a social experiment that will explore an aspect of the sharing-culture in our contemporary media society. Today it is common to use online social media such as Facebook, Twitter and blogs to display details of one?s private life for anyone to see. Our need to share seems insatiable, people write about anything from breakfast-habits to intimate relationship problems. Why is that? Is it perhaps a popularity contest ? competing for who gets the most readers or comments? Is it self-therapy or a quest for fame and recognition? We want to call attention to the generous openness and sometimes bordering on exhibitionistic tendencies of recent generations - the paradoxical phenomenon that is our public, private lives. For this project, we will gather secrets from the public. It will result in a public event in May where these secrets will be displayed anonymously. This project is carried out by the students as part of a course called Special Project in the LCDM program (Literature, Culture and Digital Media) at Blekinge Institute of Technology. You can send in your secrets through the website, or via SMS. Just type your secret in a text-message and send it to +46709685070 (your secret can not be more than 90 characters, including spaces and punctuation). The cost is like a regular text-message. The event will take place on 26 May between 9PM-2AM North side of Fredrikskyrkan in Stortorget, Karlskrona Talan Memmott English / LCDM DSN/KK Campus Gr?svik (Valhallav. 1) Blekinge Tekniska H?gskola 371 79 Karlskrona Sweden _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
