Simone Aaberg Kaern / 10 first days on facebook



Simone Aaberg Kaern is a visual artist but she is also a pilot and a movie maker . She has basically no space limits .She not only fly as a pilot where it is also forbidden (like Afganistan ) but she also moves freely from media to media ( including TV media ) nobody can stop her , she has a notion of extrem freedoom . Since 10 days she started to use Facebook . Thierry Geoffroy tries to grab the first thoughts on her early intentions .

e-mail interview between Thierry and Simone 14 dec 2007

T: When did you start to use facebook?

S: about 10 days ago.

How do you use it?

S: I use it for
1) collecting people that I have lost or otherwise would like to have in my network. Most "real" people and a few token ones to boost the impression I wish when you go to my site and look at "my friends"

2) To display interest groups that will boost the image I use in the art and flying world.

3) To make a platform, like I do in my art where the flying world and the art world can meet. Military pilots and artist, rednecks and feminists... and there are both types in both the flying world and the art world. I believe no change or understanding is possible if you don’t meet for a start.


What is your intention?
My intention is mainly to use the finding people and interests in face book and then take it to another place for more serious work.


You mention you will be out off it in 1 month what did you mean?

S: I believe this kind of medium is like face book is very much on the move. It is about taking what is interesting here and moves what is collected (mainly people) to the next platform when this gets cold. Also, I don't like the set up behind facebook, especially the copyright issues. So it's about keeping the distance, using it for my art purpose and move on before being caught and used too much.
