A network in the network

During the Facebook Farewell Party at the Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam we learned how to create an anonymous network in a network.

We used the infrastructure of Facebook to workshop around the idea of creating an anonymous network within a network.

We first collectively established the notion of physical anonymity by constructing facial remix masks. Meanwhile we discussed why anonymity is a critical component of joining our underground group.

Once physically anonymous participants were approved to enter the anonymous workshop space where we dived into the moral aspects of Facebook’s data usage, and the moral consequences of “misusing” the platform. We researched the tools to accomplish anonymity including: secure anonymous browsers, temporary emails and telephones, and the importance of non-specific data including non-descriptive naming, ambiguous media, etc.

By the end of the session attendees were able to create anonymous identities and their own network in the network.
