So, this one guy I know, flirts with girls by playing online Scrabble with them. Hanging out on Facebook waiting for someone's green dot to appear is the 2010 equivalent of ‘waiting for him to call'. Can you imagine only having a landline? Analogue sex is such a bore. I should probably talk about the art now.
Jason Sweeney and Fiona Sprott of Unreasonable Films know all about intimacy and the interwebs. Ever since the good old days of Geocities (I'm talking 1993 here) Unreasonable Films have been exploring film and internet communication. Unlike a certain Digital Dating Project Unreasonable Film's ‘Faceless: Dead and Desirable' is likely to tease out the darker considerations of closeness in the digital age in a highly intelligent and experiential manner. Indeed this level of quality seems to be present in much of the 2010 AeAF programming under the new directorship of Domenico de Clario.
The blurb sells ‘Faceless: Dead and Desirable' as a, 'life performance sound work' and an ‘anti-social networking space'. You'll probably have to go to figure out what that means.

About
FiveThousand is a subcultural guide to Adelaide, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Adelaide writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FiveThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
