We Live in Public is the story of the Internet's revolutionary impact on human
interaction as told through the eyes of internet pioneer and visionary, Josh
Harris.<br>
<br>
Though once considered the godfather of the downtown Internet scene in NYC in
the 90s, known far and wide for his outrageous parties, innovations in chat,
streaming audio and the creation of the first online television network, Harris
is but a footnote in history at this point all because he took his experiments
with the Internet and media consumption too far.<br>
<br>
Director Ondi Timoner focuses on the legendary, million-dollar millennium party
'Quiet', an experiment in voluntary submission to mass surveillance. The party,
which took place at an abandoned loft-manufacturing building on lower Broadway,
featured over 90 Japanese-hotel-style pods where artists lived, played, worked,
and celebrated.<br>
<br>
This was followed by Harris's submission of his own life, and new relationship
to constant surveillance, whose disturbing results are like a pre-history of
our current Web 2.0/Reality TV era.<br>
