Follower

The concept behind Follower is sure to ruffle a few feathers. You sign up on the site to be followed and if your application is accepted, you receive a link to an app that will let you know on what day you will be trailed. Yes, you volunteer to be stalked, temporarily.

To be fair, it's an art project from Lauren McCarthy, so there's a bit of tongue and cheek to it. Just watching the introductory video raises an eyebrow or two - do people think this way? Is this how the majority of us exist? Silo'ed into ourselves but wanting to share our behaviors, anonymously? Doesn't the Observer Effect come into play that alters the followee's behaviors?

All those questions are probably exactly the point of the whole thing. And, to be totally honest, I'd absolutely do it.
