From email [@] markfarid.com. 1) Hi so I'm Mark I'm an artist and as someone who has grown up with technology I'm interested in how it enforces particular social trends as much as behavioural changes within the individual so to culminate an exhibition I did last October at a talk title E28098Anonymity is our only right and that is why it must be destroyed' I gave away the passwords to my digital life.. Ranging from my Twitter 2) Amazon 3) Apple ID 4) Online Banking 5) All emails 6) All emails that linked them and everything in between. And I tried to live without a digital footprint for 6 monthsE280A6 until April 2016. It was incredibly Isolating distressing your relationships with people although maybe when you see each other is great but as a whole you become very alone. I became culturally very lonely in so much as yes I may be able to buy the paper but I know major news for one source unless I spend a lot of time making an effort to buy different newspapers every day to read. But more importantly I found I lost the nuances of culturally and I also lost the nuances of interests humour and kind of how to interact or relationships sort of with others. 7) In some ways I did find myself much more confident in my ideas in my self and in not knowing what is going on I didn't have any jealous or Fear of Missing out or FOMO and a lot of my actions and decisions became inherently about what I wanted or had to do as opposed to obligations or insecurities. Ultimately though what proved very apparent to me only just 3 weeks into the 6 months of this is that as a 24 year old living in London there is no choice over the usage of many of the platforms we use let alone the choice of using a computer or mobile phone. Without them my social cultural and financial life and even mental stability were all affected in negative ways. Was I happy to have technology back in my life in convenient conventional ways? Yes absolutely. The connections with people the relationships with out family friends and partners becomes regular and not based on geography I know what's going on the world I fit in and I have a constant source of validation. And that's really the thing it's validation. We are constantly judging our actions and options through others and only through their acknowledgement and confirmation can we get the validation over our actions and behaviour and call ourselves happy. But this is by a code of conduct decided by others and only by adhering to these sets of rules does the validation of our peers apply. These rules or structures if you will in a wholly sweeping general statement are predicated upon the notion of promoting order peace convenience and profit generally speaking and not necessarily in that order. And the success or failures one has within this kind of scaffolding comes second to taking part within the structure. So the obvious example would be Capitalism in so far as taking part in Capitalism is more important than our success or failures within it. But a far more interesting one I think is social media. 8) Social Media creates a totally new structure and platform to exist within. We have the ability to mould our online personae into whoever we want (9) ourselves to be while remaining on the other side of the screen Joe Blogs from Leicester born in the early E2809890s. So this is my Face Profile Picture E28093 me as a 4 year old photoshopped in a sharks mouth 10) Me sitting in my old house 11) Me having dinner with some friends from University a few years ago 12) And me giving my exgirlfriend a piggy back. I should confess that she isn't actually my exgirlfriend but rather my friend' s (13) exgirlfriend. 15) George's Facebook Profile E280A6. 16) George as a 4 year old with his head in a shark's mouth 17) George sitting in his old house 18) George having dinner with some friends from University a few years ago 19) And George giving his exgirlfriend a piggy back 22) what I find interesting is that our projectedself our projectedimage of who we want to be is standardised to the norms of every other social media account user to the point where you can literally photoshop and then it look like your own account. (23) your head onto someone else pictures and then it look like your own account. And where the account is different if it isn't seen as an endearing novelty which it most likely will be I would defined as being different in reaction to the social norms which the online structure has bred leaving no room for individually to exist except for where the social media structure chooses to allow it. Ultimately though we want to use the public profile to see that the person is normal attractive 24) attractive if they're funny that's a plus. 25) If they have photos or interact with their family great. Does their mum post a on their Facebook that's not good.26) Do they have pictures of themselves with friends? 27) Are they single? Or do they have an attractive partner or expartners? We make judgements very quickly 28) and in having a standardised platform to judge people becomes very useful in the efficiency of the 21st Century. But in having a standardised platform in which we are able to see ourselves just as other see us causes us to selfcensor and edit our online behaviour just as much as we playup to certain elements all with the ability of time to think edit and stage. With this online editorial of our projected self existing in a platform which is necessarily reliant on users producing and sharing information about themselves and others we willingly relinquish privacy on online platforms in exchange for edited social stardom. 29) An acute awareness of this digital documentation changes our actions and behaviours in the physical world producing a need for subconscious selfvalidation. This need for validation has a set of categoric E28098reactions' that each of our peers are able to validate us through to the point where it becomes a selffeeding machine as we become socially dependant upon the service. 30) So following on this thought of a selffeeding machine. Since 1st September 2016 or 17 days ago all of my personal and professional emails text messages phone calls Skype webpages Facebook messenger Twitter Instagram photographs and videos in realtime on PoisonousAntidote.com along with my locations updated every 20 minutes and some of the adverts advertised to me on websites until the 30th September. with the archive of my digital footprint over this month remaining online along with the exhibition currently at Gazelli Art House in London. 31) For the first half of this month or 15 days or as of 2 days ago I didn't have any social media accounts. I was slightly weary of what I would say but otherwise as a whole I continued as normal in essence insincivetly and even arrogantly t times. Almost the moment I added friends on Facebook and started following people on twitter I become anxious regretted my arrogance and almost immediately started looking through my newsfeed to see if what else I said or did that I maybe shouldn't have. The attitude since all in all tend to be geared towards making me look cool fun and ultimately sexy by societies standards of a newsfeed. 32) I go on more interesting websites read less about football and leicester but still maybe too much. I try to fully concentrate whilst working as I know people can see when I get distracted. And as my location is always visible I'm making a conscious effort to spend less time at home. 33) People ask me if I'm cheating at allE280A6 No I don' t have a different phone or computer but I am selfcensoring my actions and behaviour but I'm also playing up to the knowledge that people whoever can see what I'm doing which seems to be the way I'm subconsciously adapting to being watched. To phrase my favourite quote: When the prisoner doesn't know when he's being observed he becomes his own guardian 34) If we take the Oxford English Dictionary's definition of E28098privacy' as a state in which one is not observed or disturbed by other people (OED) and E28098anonymity' as a state in which one is unidentifiable privacy and anonymity are fundamental social rights for they ensure one's validation comes from within. Without the fear of social reprisal one can live instinctively protecting the selfvalidation that is innate to individuality and organic perspectives. And without it? For me 35) So for me at this point freedom of speech becomes fragmented as freedom of thought becomes eroded. As the freedom of what we think becomes standardised objectively freedom of though is destroyed and freedom of speech becomes redundant. Collating all of my information into one newsfeed makes total sense on an economic and efficient way. I use the newsfeed to see when I get emails texts Tweets etcE280A6 BUT in doing so it plays to my ego further placing each individual or me in this example in the centre of my experiences and the world further. Validation becomes becomes easier and less meaningful each time needing more and more E28093 and it is a drug and I think we all know that but refuse to truly acknowledge what that actually means. 36) I think we can see some of the affects of this in feeling it' s fair to say that the general public no longer value privacy as a protected right and would even go so far as to say that the general public in fact don't want privacy. With 444 MPs voting in favour of the Investigatory Powers Bill or Snoopers Charter opposed to 69 MPs 4 months ago and people voluntary giving up more and more personal data in unprecedented volumes COMBINED WITH THE ABILITY TO NEVER FORGETE280A6 I think something is already changing in the human psycheE280A6 And In a world where everything is autopublicised 24 hours a day 365 days a year I can't see how something fundamental won't change in the human psyche. 37) As technology continues to invade our personal lives our privacy and in turn true individuality and freedom of thought is replaced by an ever hegemonised and globalised cultural identity. And as the notion of the self continues to evolve and adapt we are encouraged to conform to political social and philosophical ideals as our identities and behaviours are stored publicly and permanently Masking our biggest insecurities whilst being archived to be part of the collective record as our idoysinracies become nothing more than endearing novelties E280 A6 leaving individuality to exists only in the shadows of conformity.
