public privacy

Social Media and Internet - as smartphone our constant companions - allow for omnipresence. I am here and at the same time somewhere else. I am in company and at the same time in dialogue with others quite elsewhere. Work and leisure merge - new degrees of freedom, or loss of concentration? Without attempting an assessment Nebel observed in his cycle "public privacy" people in public. Usually there are groups in the train station, in the park, waiting for a tram or tourists at sights. Some are in dialogue, some also simply waiting calmly, but many through social media in a dialogue with invisible third parties somewhere in the Internet. Is it a love affair with which is flirted, is it the boss, the colleague, a quick purchase on the Internet? For ever entrusted to a social network. Everything in public, and yet secret, perhaps private, perhaps piquant or quite banal. It is possible that the presence of the general public sometimes gives a special thrill.
