Turbulence Commission: "I'm Not Stalking You; I'm Socializing: Black  
& White" by Liz Filardi

http://turbulence.org/works/stalkingsocial/blacknwhite

One of the original cases of criminal stalking in America is retold  
within the framework of a social network called "Black & White",  
which consists of two mirrored profiles, those of Laura Black and  
Richard Farley. The website extrapolates on the tongue-and-cheek  
usage of the term "stalking" to describe the accepted social  
protocol, a far cry from the original behavior that, in this case,  
lead to a massacre at a booming Silicon Valley company in 1988. This  
project points to new and different levels of trust, privacy and  
social order in our networked society, tells the story behind the  
first Anti-Stalking Law passed in California in 1991 in the language  
and structure of networks, and tragically binds together two  
tormented Americans, once at opposite ends of an ineffective  
restraining order.
