The Facebook Show:

Profile Portraits from Facebook

The artist's fascination with authentic emotion is nothing new but “real” emotion seems to have become one of the biggest sellers in our society during the past 15 years. Reality TV shows like Big Brother or The X-Factor are capitalizing on that special moment when the candidate finds out if he/she has made it to the next round. The internet too has made us aware of the phenomenon of being exposed and private at the same time.

Facebook gives us visibility to an anonymous mass if we wish to be exposed. We are asked to be in the now: “Just landed at Heathrow”, “Relationship status: Single, 5 minutes ago”; as dramatic or as banal or boring as we please. Any emotion counts.

By being public we have acquired anonymity and intimacy at the same time. Because of this ability to be at the same time public and anonymous we have acquired a new understanding of public life and the responsibility that was traditionally associated with it.

How real is the reality in this Twitter world?

In effect we are already one step removed from reality as soon as we comment on it. Compared to a gladiator fighting in a Roman arena the internet seems a safe place. Our gusto to be part of a spectacle could only be described as natural. After all we are social beings. Could the function of virtual social networks as witnesses of our emotions be compared to the function of a psychotherapy group?

Modernist sculptors used to talk about the space in between objects. I propose we reflect upon the emotional space created by our digital society.
