Anxieties of Social Networking: An interview with Liz Filardi.

Liz Filardi is a New York City-based performance artist who often works 
in public space. She was recently awarded a Turbulence 
(http://turbulence.org) Commission for a networked performance piece 
called I’m Not Stalking You; I’m Socializing, exploring the anxieties of 
social networking in three modules. "Status Grabber," the first module, 
is a satirical online service that extends the status update phenomenon 
to participation over the telephone. "Black & White," the second module, 
is a Facebook-like website, consisting of two interlinked profiles, that 
tells the story behind one of the original cases of criminal stalking in 
America. "Facetbook," the final module, is a performance piece in which 
the artist compiles a series of archives of her live Facebook profile to 
illustrate the tension of online identity-- between the facade of a 
profile and the more telling story of how the profile changes over time. 
The interview was conducted by Taina Bucher, PhD fellow in the 
Department of Media and Communication at the University of Oslo, Norway. 
Bucher and Filardi met in Greenwich Village, New York City in May, 2010.
