Check out Save Karyn

Since I have graduate school loans looming over me, I am not jumping to help a twenty-something pay off her $20,000 credit card bill. But I can at least give her some free advertising. Karyn got into trouble due to her penchant for designer goods. See how she is trying to shovel her way out off debt.

As of today...she has received over $600 from strangers to pay her bill, but it still is a haunting $17,557.54.

It used to be that only government agencies and businesses had the resources and manpower to track personal information. Today, the combined power of the Internet, search engines and archival databases can enable almost anyone to find information about almost anyone else...

These days, people are seeing their privacy punctured in intimate ways as their personal, professional and online identities become transparent to one another. Twenty-somethings are going to search engines to check out people they meet at parties. Neighbors are profiling neighbors. Amateur genealogists are researching distant family members. Workers are screening co-workers.

In other words, it is becoming more difficult to keep one's past hidden, or even to reinvent oneself in the American tradition.

ART FOR FREE
Remember the Free Biennial? Now it has a sequel, Free Manifesta. Artist Sal Randolph organized both events to run alongside exclusive, international art exhibitions, the 2002 Whitney Biennial and Manifesta 4, respectively. The difference being that anyone can participate in Randolph's art exhibitions and the art is free. Currently on view in Frankfurt, Germany and online, Free Manifesta has over 225 free public art projects and more than 70 of these are net, mail, phone, or email-based. Free Manifesta, however, has a twist: Randolph is participating in the curated event, Manifesta 4. Her entry, of course, is Free Manifesta.

Rhizome's Net Art News for July 8th, 2002
Walk, do not Surf, the Web

The artist group Tsunamii is not surfing the web figuratively but walking it literally. As part of a project for art show Documenta 11, Tsunamii is walking from Documenta headquarters in Kassel, Germany, to their web server in Kiel. As they travel the 500-km route, a GPS (Global Positioning System) tracks their location and initiates a series of web browsing movements viewable in a Documenta gallery. Tsunamii's desire: to foreground the physical make-up (hardware, cables, and backbones) of the Internet instead of its often hyped virtuality. And there is even more: issues concerning access and boundaries arise as '403: Forbidden Access' and '404: Page not Found' errors dominate this webwalk.
