View source for Life Sharing

In January 2001 we started sharing our personal computer through our website. Everything was visible: texts, photos, music, videos, software, operating system, bank statements and even our private email. People could take anything they wanted, including the system itself, since we were using only free software. It was not a normal website, you were entering the computer in our apartment, seeing everything live. It was a sort of endurance performance that lasted 3 years, 24/7. Previously we were re-using and mixing other people’s work, while now we were sharing everything with everybody. Working with a computer on a daily basis, over the years you will share most of your time, your culture, your relationships, your memories, ideas and future projects. With the passing of time a computer starts resembling its owner's brain. So we felt that sharing our computer was more than sharing a desktop or a book, more than File Sharing, something we called Life Sharing. No social network existed at the time, and Life Sharing felt rather absurd, if not plain wrong. (Source: http://0100101110101101.org/home/lifesharing/index.html)
