Josh Harris and QUIET:
 "We Live In Public" - documentary by Ondi Timoner

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 (DIG! -- which also won the Sundance
Grand Jury Prize in 2004 -- making Timoner the
only director to win that prestigious award twice)

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 ground
breaking 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 every technological
advancement 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.' http://www.weliveinpublicthemovie.com
