[NetBehaviour] Data bodies.

Data bodies.

The Super Vision performance (via Grand Text Auto), by the Builders 
Association and dbox, was presented last week at ISEA and it looks taps 
right into my interests of the moment (which are roughly about 
artists/hackers' guerilla tactics to re-gain a sense of privacy in 
public space.)

Even before we are born, our personal electronic data begins to 
accumulate and to circulate. From our first sonogram, to birth 
certificates, academic records, dental records, credit card purchases, 
passports, and emails – as we grow, our “data body” grows with us, and 
becomes an integral part of our identity. In the age of information, we 
have come to accept, allow, and depend upon this new identity. How do we 
relate to the growing cloud of data that surrounds us and others?
