One of the noisiest places currently online is Facebook. The ubiquitous ‘status update’, which keeps us up-to-date on what friends have eaten for lunch or who has “poked” who, has become part of the white noise of our lives. With his work F’Book: What My Friends are Doing In Facebook, Lee Walton brings this background to the fore. Re-enacting, filming and posting back to Facebook, Walton’s series of performative videos are selected from the status updates of (what is at last count) his 1,518 “friends.” His deliberate engagement with these throwaway comments makes us consciously consider the ways we all contribute – actively and passively – to noise of the web.
