intimate tv - forward:delete (wayback safari) by webcam operators (paula roush & maria lusitano)
cyberformance/performative-lecture, kunstverein harburger bahnhof (hamburg) part of the programme channel tv, december 10th 2010
exploring links between the traces of webcam data found in the wayback machine archive and the ethics of logging and forgetting in network culture, fw: delete (wayback safari) is a performative presentation, in which images from the camgirls archive are re-activated and re-enacted by the webcam operators to explore the semiotic/ scopophilic implications of social life casting. the performative presentation debates the persistence of life traces in the network and the integration of technologies of surveillance/sousveillance into the structures of desire. it reflects upon the (re) construction of the self, within a networked offline/online linked existence, where the possibilities of organically editing (though selecting and deleting) our online biographies, shape and challenge our construction of identity.
