Turbulence Commission: "I'm Not Stalking You; I'm Socializing: Black & White" by Liz Filardi

http://turbulence.org/works/stalkingsocial/blacknwhite

One of the original cases of criminal stalking in America is retold within the framework of a social network called "Black & White", which consists of two mirrored profiles, those of Laura Black and Richard Farley. The website extrapolates on the tongue-and-cheek usage of the term "stalking" to describe the accepted social protocol, a far cry from the original behavior that, in this case, lead to a massacre at a booming Silicon Valley company in 1988. This project points to new and different levels of trust, privacy and social order in our networked society, tells the story behind the first Anti-Stalking Law passed in California in 1991 in the language and structure of networks, and tragically binds together two tormented Americans, once at opposite ends of an ineffective restraining order.
