We Live in Public

A film by Ondi Timoner

WE LIVE IN PUBLIC reveals the effect the web is having on our society, as seen through the eyes of artist, futurist and visionary Josh Harris. Award-winning director Ondi Timoner 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,” curated and funded the ground breaking project “Quiet” in an underground bunker in NYC where 100 people lived together on camera for 30 days during the turn of the millennium. Through his experiments, including a six-month stint living with his lover under 24-hour electronic surveillance which led to his mental collapse, Harris demonstrated the price we all pay for living in public.
