/ Name it social media hack or Web 2.0 circuit bending, but above all the show refers to global performance of users building and enhancing their own web image setting thus a social mask and yielding a performance of it's kind.

/ It's been a quite long time in the means of cyberspace, that rude and widemouthed Web 2.0 settled down and refused to leave. The web has indeed changed, the users have not.
 
/ Last.fm is a Web 2.0 service, that tracks what you are listening to and subsequently generates charts and statistics of your musical taste. A taste being quantified, reckoned and weighed. Precisely.
 
/ Music has always been a popular way of people coming together and sharing common interests. Tell me, what you listen to, and I'll tell you, who you are. With last.fm, it has never been easier to prove your taste right.
 
/ Last Tag Show by Pash* alludes to the way personal profiles on social networking sites like last.fm create an illusion of frankness. Wearing a social mask and behaving the way we want to make impression of ourselves is not what our presence on the web is deprived of. Adoption of the Web 2.0 potential thus implies a social performance of its kind.
 
/ Last Tag Show was a part of Multiplace 2007 a network culture festival.
