Win We Live In Public
On the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Internet, WE LIVE IN PUBLIC tells the
story of the effect the web is having on our society, as seen through the eyes of “the
greatest Internet pioneer you’ve never heard of,” visionary Josh Harris. Award-winning
director, Ondi Timoner (DIG!), 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.
WE LIVE IN PUBLIC made a huge impact on its theatrical release, and garnered the
prestigious Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, making director Timoner the only two-time
winner (after her previous award for DIG!). Now this outstanding documentary makes
its way to DVD on 15 March 2010 courtesy of Dogwoof.
Josh Harris, often called the “Warhol of the Web,” founded Pseudo.com, the first
Internet television network during the infamous dot-com boom of the 1990s. He also
created his vision of the future: “Quiet” an underground bunker in NYC where 100
people lived together on camera for 30 days at the turn of the millennium. With Quiet,
Harris proved how, in the not-so-distant future of life online, we will willingly trade our
privacy for the connection and recognition we all deeply desire. Through his
experiments, including another six-month stint living under 24-hour live surveillance
online which led him to mental collapse, he demonstrated the price we will all pay for
living in public.
WE LIVE IN PUBLIC is an outstanding documentary about the virtual world as well as
being a fascinating character study of a visionary who may be a genius or a mad man.
