Network

with Leslie Villanueva


The main objective of this project was to confuse the Facebook network. We organized an online flash mob to take place during the day. People were to take a quick video of a random action and upload it with the hashtag "#fashion". We had invited a total of 176 people to participate. Half actually looked at the group, and about 20 people total participated. Due to security and privacy settings, the videos weren't all accessible to the public. Facebook is the new social hub that people are involved in; Every second there are notifications and updates from friends. Therefore, we were attempting to infiltrate this system to cause confusion to the public just like a "real" flash mob. We were recreating that confusion in this virtual network that has taken over social interactions. Overall, for a first time thing it was successful.
