Finnished!
YAY!
Film burnt onto disk and layout printed!
Now all I have to do is set up tomorrow (Hopefully everything goes to plan!)
I am really happy with my film, I feel it turned out well. I'm glad I decided to take photographs and not film myself. That would have been a whole lot more work that I don't need. I still feel I created the film look even with photographs.
I am also pleased with my layout (which was a last minute add in) My film needed a something extra. As the film goes for almost 30mins I need the layout for people to get an understanding of what I have done without having to stand watching it for half an hour. This way, with the layout you watch the film, look at the layout, get an understanding of what is happening. You can then go away and come back to it through out the screening of the film at different stages of development.
I also feel that I show how hard it would be to keep track of all your friends without the social network: Facebook.

Use of Profile Photos
This is the massage I sent to all my Facebook friends asking if I could use their profile photos:
Hey everyone,
As most of you know I go to Art School. I am doing a photography project on 'the system'. I am looking at the social system, Facebook.
I am going to make an analog version of my facebook friends. This will mean I will be using everyones facebook profile photos. I will be recording myself as I make the web of facebook.
The photos are going to be really small, wallet size and because the web will be quite big the video camera will be set up quite far way. I will be presenting this as a film and will be displayed for 1 day in a gallery.
If you have any problems with me using your profile photo, just let me know.
Thank you,
Amy :)

"You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies"
The Social Network 2010
Director: Davie Fincher
Writers: Aaron Sorkin and Ben Mezrich
Stars: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake
Ok, so after watching this film I kind of wanted to delete me Facebook (Just a little bit) but I didn't.
Does that put an end to my project? I hope not, I don't have time to start a new one...
Facebook Key
The key for my Facebook map:
Light Blue: Friends through friends
Green: Friends from high school
Yellow Relations
Purple: Friends from art school
Pink: Primary School Friends
Red: In a relationship
Black: Was in a relationship
Blue/Green: Friends form work
The background of my Facebook map will be Facebook blue

Family Portraits
Most of the time family photos you hang on the wall are in some sort of order. Such as: Starting from the oldest photos to the newest one etc.
This is very similar to the family photos hanging on the wall. In a way these are family photos: A Facebook family.
Here is a really quick example of a Facebook family:
Facebook looks something like this?!
New York and London Subway maps.
Is this what Facebook really looks like?
Key of the London Subway:
Everything in the map is so well thought out right down to colour coding. I can do the same for my Facebook map.
For example-
Brown = School friends
Pink = Art School friends
Blue = Relations
Red = Boyfriend/Girlfriend/Married etc
and so on through all the different relationships.
Soon I will be make my own 'subway' map out of about 320 of my Facebook friends, even colour coded!
Wish me luck, I'm going to need it!

Facebook web
This is one more of my tests. I picked 10 of my Facebook friends and made links to who's friends with each other. I then took the photos off and was left with the web.

Khan Test Two
This image worked a lot better because there are less photographs and they have a higher % of opacity between each of them.
Khan Inspiration
This is the first work I have done so far using Kahn as inspiration.
I took 10 of my friends Facebook profile photos and turned them all into one image. Between each image is a 3% opacity difference. Unfortunaly you can only make out the first four images and the rest are too covered up.

Idris Khan
Idria Khan (1978, UK) is an artist based in London. Khan comprises digital photographs into a single frame. For example that works of Bernd and Hilla Becher:
These photographs are amazing. There are so many photos within the one photograph, but you can still tell what the image is of.
Another artist that does this is: Jason Salavon.
Salavon (1970) is an American contemporary artist. He uses custom computer software of his own design to manipulate preexisting media to create new visual works of art.
Here are some of these works:

Friends of friends of friends of friends...
Experimenting with Facebook and Facebook friends.
I pick the first person on my friends list and clicked onto their profile, I then clicked on their first friend. I did this until the persons profile was set to private, which was the end of the chain.
(The people on bold are the people I am friends with on Facebook.)

Nina Katchadourian
Nina Katchadourian
Nina Katchadourian is an American artist (1968 California) Katchadourian is known for her conceptual works that explore themes of mapping, translation and public space.
For example:
Rock Tree Family
I really like the idea of this artwork. It's taking the ideas of mapping people family history and giving a history to something (in the case rocks) that doesn't have family heritage.

This work makes you laugh when you first see it, because of the facts their rocks. But then after looking at it you start to see the connection to the different mother and father rocks the Nina might have/have not seen when making this art work.
I really like this idea of mapping things out and will be doing more research on this topic.
Social System
Facebook!
Don't we all just love Facebook.
Here are some interesting facts I found out:
-There are more than 25 billion pieces of content on facebook
Face to Facebook
"Stealing 1 million fb profiles, filtering then with face-recognition software, and then, posting them on a custon-made dating website, sorted by their facial expressions/characteristics."
Other works by the pair:
-Google will eat it's self
-Amazon Noir
http://www.lovely-faces.com/
-This is the dating website
Don't we all just love Facebook.
Here are some interesting facts I found out:
-When you type 'F' into google, the first thing that pops up is...you guessed it: Facebook
-The average facebook user has 130 friends-There are more than 25 billion pieces of content on facebook
-People spend over 500 billion minutes per month on facebook
Because facebook is such a huge medium in the 21st century, Paolo Cirio and Alessandro Ludovico decided to turn it into art.
