"My name is Diana Laurel Caramat and I believe I have a sharing and digital media addiction, I think I’m not the only one… can I share something with you?"

Diana Laurel Caramat paid for a therapy service available on smart phones,Talkspace, stakeholder in the project as an experience of social media over a year. This application is the main media used by the artist for his work, which is presented throughout his progression and updated daily. Within this digital therapy room, Diana Laurel Camarat will be sharing a range of images, videos, performances and writings that become real and dirty in a deeply personal way- the artist does not prevent talking about his own personal struggles about recent deaths in her family, fears, vices and sexual experiences. The public has the opportunity to experience a total voyeurism of his mental space and its relationship with the therapist - and we do, we discover, we understand the formation of national identity, sexual and individual in a collective digital identity. In presenting this work, Diana Laurel Camarat is also interested in issues of violations of privacy by breaking his own trusted contact with the therapist, giving the public full access to highly sensitive archives. While all information in the project can never be actually seen or understood in its entirety, it is a control test which allows the artist to overcome this addiction is Internet.
