My Desktop stage performance. OBS with Facebook live.
I feel that through a desktop it tells the stories and narratives of our personal everyday lives as we interact with our desktop. Not only that the different sounds that we play on it could be an orchestra performing together to create a musical/ sound which tells the story of our personality. I think the reason we reveal what we are doing in the privacy of our personal computer is to show people what we do so that we can start a trend or to create a conversation among our friends who are abroad/ disconnected with what we do.
The different creative possibilities of desktop performance are having multiple desktop together and playing different things at the same time, doing a live performance with people abroad together, having four screens on one screen and adding filters to create special effects, having attach robotic limbs on the desktop and letting it walk around to film people live as to what they are doing to show the culture of the country of visit.

I think we can explore the way we interact with different kinds of people and create a sense of overlap which shows some kind of glitch effect. We also can create artworks together via our body languages and changing our speech to machine languages. We can create fictional imaginative stories as we act out different sections and have the others to continue the story which gives a new perspective of how the person is like.
I personally think that OBS is like a stage of a play where what I do (performance) is seen by everyone (audience) and the world is able to see what I am doing on a everyday basis via Facebook live. People around will be able to see what I am doing and people also can share what they normally do via their own desktop. We can share information and see what others usually serve the web for or we can tell their personalities through the interaction with their desktop.

This reminds me of a movie ‘Open Window’ where the main character gets to see a live feed of an actress that he was crazy about through a hacker. Later he made the actress and the people around her face danger due to a harmless live feed link sent by a hacker, whom he does not even know personally but through social media, to stalk the actress. I feel that sharing my own personal stuff via social media live could endanger me from getting exposed to strange people therefore I am reluctant to share my personal stuff online especially social media platforms. Despite being good to be connected to the world but the dangers that lurks behind all these, makes me uncomfortable to share my desktop online. People may say that it may or will not happen to me but there is always that risk which is not worth while since the world out there is a dangerous place and you do not know what will happen next.

P.S: I realised that when I tried to copy the link via the Facebook group I am unable to show the video but when I video my other work on my own personal live stream the video is able to pop up, I tried unlinking to not embedding the video but it does not seem to work. Could it be due to it being in a closed group on Facebook? Please advice.
