Open-source.me is a performance/game/experiment by me, in which you and I would exchange our digital identities (Facebook to be specified). You will have access to my private messages, photos, contacts,..etc. In other words, you’ll be able to be me in a given amount of time and vice versa.
a. The idealization and the principles of this performance are inspired by Facebook’s Terms of Service.
You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging to someone else.
Registration and Account Security
Facebook users provide their real names and information…
You will not provide any false personal information on Facebook, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission.
You will not share your password (or in the case of developers, your secret key), let anyone else access your account,or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account.You will not transfer your account (including any Page or application you administer) to anyone without first getting our written permission.
Given that Facebook emphasizes in representing a (not-so-virtual-anymore) society, with real identities and regulations, let’s introduce Swinging, a law-breaker practice into this society.
b. Another source of inspiration is Fightclub and V for Vendetta
c. The performance/experiment/game is based upon an hypothesis that in the near future, thanks to technological advancement, a man can offer his identity as open-source. All of his memories loaded on cloud platforms, his biological identity would be accessible to everyone. Everyone can access,modify, intervene into his identity.
d. This experiment/game/experiment works upon the idea of open source in software culture.
If you want to participate in this experiment/game/performance, write me an email at [email protected] with a short introduction of who you are, why you want to do this and your Facebook account. I will check to see if we are compatible to do this experiment.
If chosen, you will then receive an email from me with further details.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me here.
The exact time and duration of the exchange would be specified via email between you and me.
In this way, everybody knows that my Facebook profile would be taken over by a stranger, but not exactly when and who. Therefore, the game/experiment/performance will work.
Of course this experiment function upon the basis of meeting a stranger, and share things you would not share with people you know.
During the process, I get to know you, you get to know me. However, a brief introduction is always needed.
I’m Giang, 27 yrs old, Vietnamese, currently based in Milan, Italy. Want to know more? Be ME on Facebook.
Anyway, take your time to check my Facebook profile here. And also my CV here.
If you feel like I’m not compatible with you, then thanks for reading this.
Please spread the words so I could find the suitable one. (preferably not on Facebook but via email or other channels)
This is the first phrase in my project to create some kind of Social Swing Club, a platform in which people can freely exchange their identities online. So please keep in touch.
To be able to provide you the maximum possibilities of using my identity, the experiment is only available for Vietnamese-speaking users only.
For others, please register in the mailing list of Social Swing Club. You’ll be informed when the platform is ready to welcome you.
