Open to all participants and organizers of Artivistic,
As one of the artists contributing to the upcoming art conference Artivistic: TURN ON, I am taking a satirical look at Internet chat sites. For my project, titled "Lost," I am creating a mock chat site that will showcase a series of fake profiles in the spirit of Facebook, MySpace, dating sites, etc. My project questions the ability of online profiles to accurately depict a person.
The idea is to create a fun (and sexy) project that people can contribute to in the weeks leading up to Artivistic. Contributors share in the false perceptions of each other, then, when they meet for Artivistic in October, they will get to know each other for real, dispelling the myths of their online identities.
