Purge

50 Hours of Performance, 800 emails from angry, amused and intrigued friends and over 2500 comments from people via live stream...

Purge is part game show, part lecture and part love story exploring modern friendships in the digital age.

In 2011, Brian Lobel played a brutal game of friendship maintenance: over 5 days in café’s in both London and Kupio, Finland, Brian gave strangers one minute to decide which of his 1300 Facebook friends to keep or delete. The deleting was real, the pace was maniacal, the results were final.
