Why did you want to do the review?
- Live broadcasts on the major platforms have come to be like a new form of reality television - without having responsible publishers like the traditional media. The vast majority of live broadcasts that I have seen have positive messages to convey. But there are also live broadcasts that contain slander, harassment, threats, violence and even murder. Therefore, I wanted to portray the live broadcasts, the positive and the negative, and ask myself who really takes responsibility for what is published.
How did you go about it?
- Me and photographer Ivan Blanco want to tell about the living community by following a few people who broadcast completely different topics online. As I gained more insight into this world, I came in contact with several live broadcasters, including "Nabbe" from Malmö who sees the opportunity to make big money through the people he discovered online. One of his ideas is to let rivals who are angry at each other on social media make up their fists for paying audiences in live broadcasts.
What has this brought to your mind?
- Anyone can broadcast live in groups of hundreds of thousands of followers - for good and for bad. Is it acceptable, for example, in live broadcast to tell his exporter? To threaten others? To fight? What does this do to our society in the long run? I have more questions than answers, but I think it's an important discussion to have.
