We Live in Public

Josh Harris predicted this would happen: We’re all slaves to the internet. We Facebook, Flickr, Tweet, and blazon our lives all over the web. Director Ondi Timoner (DIG!) documents the tumultuous life of the internet pioneer, who launched a 30-day social experiment in the final days of the last millennium. More than a hundred people participated, agreeing to live under 24-hour surveillance in an underground bunker. They ate, drank, showered, shot guns, had sex, underwent interrogations, and went a little crazy. Then he subjected his own private life to this Orwellian human terrarium.

Editing down 5,000 hours of material shot over a period of ten years, Ondi Timoner has created a fascinating portrait of a visionary who became a warning case against Internet evolution.
