CTRL+P: a journal of contemporary art 4saisons “fbFaces“ “fbFaces“ is a project by Joern Roeder and Jonathan Pirnay, who study “New Media” at the University of Visual Arts and Design Kassel, Germany. The project deals with the issue of data accessibility on the Internet; a topic that is gaining more and more importance and actuality – especially in our times of privacy protection and social networks. "On the one hand “Internet giants” like Google etc. are coming under criticism for unsolicitedly collecting any information accessible, on the other hand it is surprising how many intimacies we reveal voluntarily, especially in social networks like facebook. What is normal, what is exaggerated? "“fbFaces” is a facebook crawler, built using JavaScript & PHP, that starts at the public profile of any fb-user, saving profile image, facebook-ID and name, and afterwards continuing its way to the public profiles of the user's friends. The wallpaper transforms the room itself into a flood of information.
