“Over ten years in the making, We Live in Public documents the life of Internet visionary and "Warhol of the Web" Josh Harris. The web trailblazer's projects included the premier online TV network, pseudo.com, and "Quiet," an on-camera project where 100 people cohabited in a New York City bunker for 30 days. The film has already secured director Ondi Timoner this year's Documentary Grand Jury Prize at Sundance (Timoner won the same prize in 2004 for her documentary about Brian Jonestown Massacre, DIG!), and functions both as a cautionary tale as well as a broader commentary on the effects the Internet has had on society's sense of public and private space.”

WE LIVE IN PUBLIC, 2009, 90 min., Interloper Films. Ten years in the making and culled from 5000 hours of footage, the film reveals the effect the web has on our society, as seen through the eyes of the “Warhol of the Web” aka “the greatest Internet pioneer you’ve never heard of”, artist, futurist and visionary Josh Harris. Through his experiments, including a six-month stint living with his girlfriend under 24-hour electronic surveillance which led to his mental collapse, Harris demonstrated the price we pay for living in public.7:30 PM discussion hosted in person by actress Eliza Dushku ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel").
