A woman explores the anti-social side of social media


A woman has moved in donated furniture, exercise equipment and a large-screen computer with a projector overhead so everyone walking by can see as she tweets, updates her Facebook page and Skypes. During her 30 day stay in this "cell" no one comes in and she never goes outside. Her only contact with other people is through technology. She wants to explore how social media has changed the way people communicate.

This is an experiment to see how social we are really being through social media outlets. It explores how social media can be beneficial for people that live states or countries a part but how it may be detrimental for actual social interaction with people we come in contact on a more regular basis.
