The Nantucket Project (TNP) Library provides a second home for curious people to hear stories, attend screenings, readings and hear leaders speak throughout the year in an intimate setting.
On Thursday, Nov. 17, the tnp library asks the question: Do we have any privacy left? Josh Harris was the subject of the 2009 Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning documentary We Live in Public by award-winning director Ondi Timoner. Timoner documented Harris’ tumultuous life for more than a decade, to create a riveting, cautionary tale of what to expect as the virtual world inevitably takes control of our lives.
Josh Harris, often called the “Warhol of the Web” through the infamous dot.com boom of the 1990’s, founded Pseudo.com, the first Internet television network and created his vision of the future, an underground bunker in NYC where 100 people lived together on camera for 30 days over the millennium. He proved how in the not-so-distant future of life online, we will willingly trade our privacy for the connection and recognition we all deeply desire. Harris will join via Skype to share highlights of the film and discuss the price we pay for living in public.
TNP library is located at 123 Mason St. The series is free of charge, but RSVP is required. Register at nantucketproject.com
