2008. USA. Directed by Ondi Timoner. Mirroring the excitement, innovation, and imaginative creativity that created the technology we live with today, Timoner’s documentary captures the “live-in” performance Quiet: We Live in Public, Josh Harris’s “millennium bunker” that brought more than a hundred of the art and technology world’s leading lights together to live out their fantasies and fears under twenty-four-hour surveillance. This cautionary tale about the way we employ and embrace technology takes the viewer on a true roller-coaster ride, oscillating between repulsion and fascination, from the birth of the Web to how it has turned upon itself. 90 min.
