+## The Art Project
+
+### Lost in the cloud?
+
+OmniPresence is an art project created by the performance group
+Kassandra Production to dig into central questions of privacy, freedom
+and control in our digital age.
+
+And the deeper we dug, the more absurd it got.
+
+Most of us tend to live in blissful ignorance about what happens with
+our personal data - the new currency of our time. 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-defence
+
+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.

+### The Project
+
+OmniPresence is a strange hybrid of intervention art, performance
+installation, awareness campaign and mobile crypto party. 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.
