In 2014 the high-fashion Prada sub-label Miu Miu approached filmmaker-artist Miranda July about creating a film for their Women’s Tales series. Here’s her description of the project:
And here’s the film she wrote and directed, which also serves as a demo for the Mobile App she created:
SomebodyApp.com is a real app for Android & iOS. But it doesn’t have the zillions of users that Instagram or Snapchat have. So for us to explore it, we’ll need to create our own small Somebody Community here in the LBC.
- Download the Somebody App & Sign up
- to make it work we’ll need to connect to each other. Somebody connects via Snapchat, Twitter, WhatsApp, Gmail, etc. Leave your info here and connect to as many classmates on Somebody as possible.
- Send & Deliver as many Somebody messages as possible. They don’t have to all be on Thursday, but that’ll be the easiest day since we’ll all be around in the SOA Gallery Courtyard. Try to get all your connections setup on Tue & Wed and then work with the App on Thursday.
- Blog it! Write about your experience of the Somebody App. Compare & Constrast Somebody with Instagram, Periscope & Snapchat. Does this app give you ideas about your own app you might create? Describe your app!
