Yours, Mine, and Ours in the Age of Social Media

All currently enrolled New School students are welcome to submit short time-based work that imaginatively explores the relationship between the public and the private. We are interested in the experiences of virtual social lives—Facebook, Twitter, Second Life, avatars, Instagram—including psychological, legal, economic, and ethical questions raised by, but not limited to, hacking, surveillance technologies, online identities, and personal boundaries. You can be poetic, political, narrative, comic, experimental. You can be personal or abstract, global or local, inspiring or polemical.

Selected work, chosen by a faculty jury, will be screened in a compilation on the SJDC plasma screens in the 2 W. 13th Street lobby from April 1 through April 30.

This contest is held in conjunction with the exhibition The Public Private.
