Anxieties of Social Networking: An interview with Liz Filardi.
By Taina Bucher.
http://www.furtherfield.org/interviews/anxieties-social-networking-interview-liz-filardi
Liz Filardi is a New York City-based performance artist who often works
in public space. She was recently awarded a Turbulence
(http://turbulence.org) Commission for a networked performance piece
called I’m Not Stalking You; I’m Socializing, exploring the anxieties of
social networking in three modules. "Status Grabber," the first module,
is a satirical online service that extends the status update phenomenon
to participation over the telephone. "Black & White," the second module,
is a Facebook-like website, consisting of two interlinked profiles, that
tells the story behind one of the original cases of criminal stalking in
America. "Facetbook," the final module, is a performance piece in which
the artist compiles a series of archives of her live Facebook profile to
illustrate the tension of online identity-- between the facade of a
profile and the more telling story of how the profile changes over time.
The interview was conducted by Taina Bucher, PhD fellow in the
Department of Media and Communication at the University of Oslo, Norway.
Bucher and Filardi met in Greenwich Village, New York City in May, 2010.
