Looks like these days I'm quite into this artistry mood, especially about digital culture related stuff. So I'm going now to bounce this bit, found on Jill's blog:

For the month of March, two artists in a long-distance relationship are going to put all their electronic communication online. Phone conversations, emails, IMs, camera phone pics, the lot, it’ll all be online under a Creative Commons licence. IN Network, the performance is called.

On one side, as Jill writes, this is quite shocking. You see reservation numbers and the like, and there's an instinctive reaction like “don't do that”. On the other side, I realize that most of our communication is already public, at least to some degree... so much so that I'm slowly “letting go” the grip on “privacy at all costs”. Moreover, I was thinking how this initiative acted, at least inside my brain, as a confidence counterbalance to episodes like Paris Hilton's mobile public hack that happened a few days ago: after all, if there's people willing to just give away all their communication intimacy like that, the publishing of one's own addressbook couldn't be such a big deal...
