Facebook Live Map
Project Overview
The Facebook Live Map caters to voyeuristic curiosity while simultaneously serving as a marketing tool for self promotion. This interactive interface displays live streaming activity worldwide through blinking dots, with their size determined by duration and exposure, factors designed to attract viewers. Examining the friction between public visibility and personal surveillance, this performance explores how individuals navigate digital presence and data exposure without built in security measures.
Project Details
During the initial observation, JungJiea noticed that the Live Map remained completely inactive across Prague. Transforming this geographical void into a site for artistic intervention, she initiated a live stream performance, systematically adjusting privacy settings to public to test the exact conditions required for algorithmic visibility. By deliberately making her presence readable to the global map, the performance reveals the mechanics of digital self exposure, questioning how platform algorithms dictate human connection and spatial recognition in real time.
