網絡世界的真偽，已不再是新鮮的話題。自從網絡社交媒體普及，各個社交媒體「Facebook」、「Instagram」、「Whatsapp」、「Snapchat」等成為我們主要通訊及聯誼之用，為生活帶到便利、效率，增添溝通的趣味。但如果這些媒體取代了平日基本溝通、待人接物，影響了人與人之間的現實溝通呢？藝術家麥影彤邀請參加者進行四個與現實反差的小實驗，以社交媒體認識旁邊的新朋友、你追我逐的追蹤遊戲、尋找閉路電視攝像機之旅、共同創造網絡虛擬社交人物，從探討網絡與個人身份的關係及在數碼世界下我們僅餘的個人隱私。

The course is divided into two parts: online identity and surveillance in the digital age. It aims at facilitating students to differentiate their online and real life identity and increase their awareness of how they portray themselves in social media. It also provides an overview of how social media shapes our perception and examines how people's privacy is being infringed in the digital world.

The content of each workshops under the same titles are the same.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Mak Ying Tung (b.1989, Hong Kong) was educated at the School of Creative Media of City University of Hong Kong, majoring in Critical Intermedia Art. Her work examines the fundamental properties of familiar objects and materials. Working in sculpture and performance, she reforms objects and situations as sources of humour and curiosity. In her recent solo show balloons were altered to perform strange tasks; to shatter, a contradiction to the very idea of a balloon, as in No I insist (2014), or to resist an impossible force, as in No One Wins (2014). Such alterings reflect an acute sense of observation and sensitivity; a deceptive simplicity and precise presentation that disclose Mak's peculiar sense of humour and a consciousness of the absurd. Her deadpan presentation does not only aim to make the viewers laugh but prompt them to review their perception to the world and to look at what lies underneath the surface of their surroundings.
