Facebook Road Trip – The New Keroac

20 Oct

More fodder for my fetish re digital media that enables meaningful experiences in ‘the real world‘, digi-media artist/student, Graham Smith traveled over 1800 miles in less than a week like a modern day Jack Keroac to physically connect with his Facebook friends, some of which he hadn’t seen for 15 years.

He and his travel-buddy made a mini-doc about the experience.

“This trip has really led me to see that these people I’ve lost contact with aren’t a series of updates and bits of information on a computer. They’re actually people living their lives.”

Everyone should take a social network road-trip according to Graham – it’s the new ‘On the Road’

Thanks to Miss Chapman for the reference
