5. INTERNET
- Internet has enabled people to chat without social
boundaries
- Chat rooms / Forums / Twitter / Facebook
6. SOCIALISING
- Its interesting how we socialise online vs real world
- Is online gaming a social activity if you’re alone in the
room but interacting online?
7. I’M SHY
- I am a shy person
- Easier to Tweet than meet *pause for laughs*
- I’m less shy as a photographer though
8. BYE BYE FEAR
- As a photographer I can’t afford fear
- I have to capture the moment or its gone
10. HELLO STRANGER
- Being a photographer has given me a reason to talk to
people on the street
- Not wanting to miss a moment I’m not as shy
- “You look cool. Can I take your photo?”
11. 100 STRANGERS
- Several past projects have included ‘eighthundred’
and ‘Fab Faces’
- 2010 - 100 Strangers
- Last year I started 100 Strangers
- Emphasis on finding real stories about real people

15. PEOPLE ARE FASCINATING
- So people do scare me
- They are scary
- They’re also hugely fascinating
- I wanted to share this with people in an engaging way
16. SKIP TO THE END
- Having a camera gave me a reason to talk to strangers
- Wanted to pass that on to others
- Thought it’d be interesting to break out of traditional
photography exhibition format
18. WHAT IS IT?
- Uses social media to interact with photography
- Lets people encounter each photo in the location where
it was taken
19. UM, WHY?
- Mobiles and computers connect people online but can
these devices do it in the real world?
- Hopefully this will show that it can
- The Internet can be used as a valid way of connecting
people in the real world
20. OK, BUT STILL WHY?
- Its to provoke discussion on the way we interact
- You’d be right there on the streets interacting with
people but through the comfort of the Internet
- Its about connecting real to virtual
- Blurring the lines
21. REZZ
- Why Rezz?
- Rezz is the process of transferring your real self into the
digital world
- Its from Tron
- I’m a bit geeky
22. REZZ
- I plan to ask people if I can take their photo
- Put it online via Twitter so virtual people can say ‘Hi’ to
them
- GPS tag it so others can visit this virtual person
24. IPHONE
- Entire project done with an iPhone
- Shot on, processed, gps-tagged, etc
- Makes the point that you don’t need high end gear
25. GOWALLA
- Create hotspot
- Check-in and leave info about person
- Eventually build a Gowalla Trip to meet interesting people
- Allows others to also contribute to the project
- Comments
- Photos
26. LAYAR
- Augmented reality browser
- You can see Gowalla hotspots
- Also see photos of strangers
27. TWITTER
- Hashtag for chatting - #rezzed
- Hopefully builds discussion over the weeks
28. TUMBLR
- Website built with Tumblr
- Imports Gowalla Check-ins
- Imports Twitter hashtag discussion
- Also has its own hashtag support
29. LIVE DEMO
- OMG Demo time!
- Need a volunteer
- Someone I don’t know
30. THE END
