[-empyre-] Re: Privacy Gone...

["Lachlan Brown" <curators@paris.com>]

No, I don't think privacy is gone. But this really is the debate of the moment. 
It is carried out in contests in legislation protecting civil rights and
in legislation protecting state rights.
Sean Cubitt proposes a world in which privacy is obsolete and draws a number 
of conclusions from his opinion, yet is defensive over his private household s
pace and his private properties.

Others see a privatisation through commercialisation of public institutions
and public forum for debate and for showing art. The consequence of this latter
view is that there are fewer places for free exchange of ideas and opinion. More
repression of ideas 'not compatible'.

Our notions of privacy and publicity (making, forming and informing a public or publics) are undergoing change. This much is clear.

But lets discuss Sean Cubitt's presented work, 'the Hours'.
