synopsis

At the height of his $80-million dollar dot-com career, internet pioneer Josh Harris began hosting bizarre surveillance experiments, including "Quiet", an underground society linked by all-seeing cameras and quickly driven to chaos by Harris's militaristic rule. He then turned the cameras on himself, and his girlfriend, streaming their affair online in real-time until their inevitable break-up and Harris's own mental collapse. Over a cacophony of music and colorful graphics, Ondi Timoner (DiG!) chronicles the strange forays into voyeurism, exhibitionism, and mind control that led to Harris's terrific fall from disgrace when the dot-com bubble finally burst.
