In Life Sharing is an project that is made by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. It is an exercise of transparency for presenting peoples' daily life for using the internet. According to this subject people can share everything about their life in the internet. Aim to share their private lives into a public art work. They want to share their identities easily for using the internet. Through Facebook, Twitter, linux etc. they want to use this communicational things to present themselves. They want to share all things in their daily lives so they put their photos, their speech record, their situations about what they did or where they go. Also they can share many useful things who follows their daily life on the internet and want to help them where is nice place, where they should go to drink something, where is cheap or expensive place that they should prefer.

It is also open source because we can easily find much information in there. We achieve freely and get many things about everything in someones daily lives. Open source is an unlimited things, we can easily find whatever we want to find and also it is changing according to events so we can attain many current things to use the open sources. Life Sharing is also an open source to attain many things from them. However it doesn't reflect an open source philosophy because we cannot change anything in the Life Sharing. We cannot say this is propietary source because it includes many speacial things about an open source. There is a conflict of  speciality between being open source or not. We cannot change anything, we just search new things for someones lives and we can just get an information about someones lives. It is easily and freely to achieve but there isn't any chance to change something. Life Sharing is also remove from privacy, people can search to someones life and get information about many things for their lives. It is basically public because all things put in the internet to share all around the world.
