Ondi Timoner: We Live in Public (2009)


35mm print (color, sound) 93 min. USA. Purchase

"Mirroring the excitement, innovation, and imaginative creativity that created the technology we live with today, Timoner’s documentary captures the “live-in” performance Quiet: We Live in Public, Josh Harris’s “millennium bunker” that brought more than a hundred of the art and technology world’s leading lights together to live out their fantasies and fears under twenty-four-hour surveillance. This cautionary tale about the way we employ and embrace technology takes the viewer on a true roller-coaster ride, oscillating between repulsion and fascination, from the birth of the Web to how it has turned upon itself." (Recent Acquisitions 2: Continuum, 2010)
