How to Disappear in America - via: Walker Art Center

"Last summer, after writing a story for Wired magazine about people who fake their own deaths, journalist Evan Ratliff decided to vanish and invited the public to try to find him. While he attempted to stay hidden for 30 days, he was caught in 25, thanks in part to the digital breadcrumb trail he left behind. Join Peter Eleey, curator of The Talent Show, and Ratliff as they discuss data-mining, surveillance, and other ramifications of a culture awash in in information."

"...how hard it is to disappear is entirely a function of how hard people are looking for you..."

"...the information that you put out about yourself is actually the information that's the greatest threat or, you may not view it as a threat, but when it comes to privacy, most of the information that you would worry about is actually the information that you are revealing."
