We have created a new +normal in which we willingly give away our personal information in +return for convenient apps, seamless user experiences, connectedness +and likes. Big data harvesting is to a large extent fuelled by our own +vanity and basic instincts. We have become users, addicts, bio-banks +and cash cows, controlled and manipulated by big business. And we’re stuck. + +How did we get here? What is the impact on our free will, when privacy +becomes a commodity? What happens to free choice, when our opinions are +shaped by snack media and echo chambers? How do these invisible +mechanisms affect modern democracy? + +With OmniPresence we put forward the questions that need to be asked. +And we shed light on the fact that privacy is gone; that we are public +by default – private through action. + +## DIGITAL SELF-DEFENSE + +Remain calm. Avoid panic. Breathe! +Observe and question your reality. +Check your privacy settings. +Make a web cam cover and a signal jammer pouch for your smartphone. +Break free of your echo chamber – like something you loathe, +engage with people you disagree with. +Digital detox: Go off line, make yourself a shot of fresh made juice. +Use a VPN and encryption software to transmit sensitive data. +Counterstrike ignorance - seek knowledge. +Go to crypto parties in your local area. +Discuss the right to privacy across generations and interests. +Support ethical alternatives and indie-nets; go peer-to-peer, keep third parties out. +Troll politicians online and demand knowledge about privacy violations. + +> No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, +> family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and +> reputation.

It is an +“omni-channel art project” that unfolds as: + + * An interactive boot camp in and around the mobile ‘OmniBus’. + * A free online webinar via live streaming. + * Virtual storytelling about our corporate undercover identity as OmniPresence Consulting. + * A 5-minute film and a play based on the performance, as part of the +Plurality of Privacy in 5-minute plays (P3M5) commissioned by +Goethe-Institut, Washington DC. + +OmniPresence is an interactive art project with the ambition to +intervene and engage with our modern society. We are trying to grasp +the complexity of a reality in which everything is connected in a +seemingly chaos. All parameters of the art project - the OmniBus, +the performance, the text, music, video, live stream, film and +virtual storytelling – have been developed simultaneously in order +to reflect the complexity of our reality. + +##LINKS + +<Goethe-Institut, Washington DC, P3M5>(https://www.goethe.de/ins/us/en/kul/sup/p3m/int/20978490.htm) +<Warehouse 9, Wanderlost Digital Art Festival>(http://www.warehouse9.dk/18-21-wanderlost-digital-art-festival-participatory-events-exhibitions/) +<Bora Bora>(http://bora-bora.dk/en/forestilling/omnipresence/) +<CPH Stage>(http://www.cphstage.dk/en/event/omnipresence-2017-05-31-16-00-3/) +<Musikhuset Aarhus>(http://musikhusetaarhus.dk/arrangementer/omnipresence/) +<Musikhuset Aarhus, debate>(http://musikhusetaarhus.dk/arrangementer/hvem-holder-oeje-med-hvem/) +<Kassandra Production>(https://www.kassandra-production.dk/English/sider/forside.htm) + +##CREDITS +The performance material is created in a devised process between +Annika B.
