AN ORIGINAL DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE —

Me & myGoogle
Written and directed by Wyatt Galusky & Jeffry Buechler

Monday, March 24th 2003
NEW LOCATION: Old Blackburg Middle School on South Main St.

Curtain at 5 pm — admission is free!

Me & myGoogle takes a comic look at identity and privacy in the digital age, exploring the tensions between personal privacy and public security in the Internet world.

Developed for this Choices and Challenges forum, the plot centers around the interactions of a young woman, her digital self (that is, an embodiment of how she is represented and represents herself online), and new forms of information technology — the internet, data-collection, various forms of identification, and surveillance.

The performance integrates several different techniques:

• alternate endings for each act, determined by audience choice;
• filmed segments demonstrating various modes of surveillance; and,
• staged parenthetical asides that deal with elements of the character's life that are important but often unseen.

The Choices and Challenges staff thanks Wyatt and Jeffry for this wonderful play and celebrates the efforts of the cast and crew to bring it to life!

We are committed to using drama to enrich our future discussions about the social and ethical dimensions of science and technology.
