Found is an ongoing globally collaborative exploration utilizing social media and live streaming webcams to pinpoint a moment in time and space from multiple perspectives. A virtual link is created between myself and the participants, all of whom are complete strangers, in a questioning of privacy and access to information. The end result is a demonstration of how technological interventions create artistic spectacles within the intersection of art and technology.
