The recent issues on surveillance systems create a sense of how fragile
digital communication is and also shows how easily our personal data can
be accessed. On the other hand the average user of social networks like
Facebook or Twitter doesn’t care so much whether private information
goes public or not. Far from it: self-tracing, self-watching,
self-publicity and self-quantification is considered useful for
individual purposes. In Fall 2014 weißensee academy of art berlin
offered a seminar on above issues. As a result a social sculpture is
developed in the cafe stage of the Haus der Kulturen der Welt during one
day of the transmediale. In a collective approach while arranging and
rearranging individual contributions, the installation changes its
shape. At the same time the installation builds its own story.
