A panel discussion focusing on Farid's exhibition Data Shadow (2015), culminating with the artist Mark Farid sharing the login details to his digital life, which included, but was not limited to, his social media account login details, Apple ID, and his (closed) online banking details. Inviting the audience of St. John’s College to take, use and share his accounts as they please, Farid attempted to live without a digital footprint for the following 6 months. |
