The time has come: lets celebrate you for being you.
In T4BU (Thanks for being you) you can become a protagonist by just using your phone. You will finally be able to expose your true self, without paying attention to how you do it!
When it all begins...
T4BU will record (without audio) everything you do on your smartphone screen during approximately one minute, and will only do this once. This will happen without you knowing it because only T4BU knows when it is the best time to show yourself.
Once you have allowed yourself to be recorded, you will be able to see the videos of other T4BU participants.
Questions & Answers
How do I install T4BU?
As T4BU is not available in Google Play, before downloading the app you have to allow the installation of third-party apps. To do so, go to your Android Settings and click Security. There, you should activate an option named Unknown sources, which allows the installation of apps from sources other than Google Play Store. It is possible that you will receive a warning informing you about the risks when installing apps from unknown sources but don’t worry, T4BU is completely safe to use. Once you have followed these steps, you can download the app from this link and install it on your phone.
T4BU is requesting app permissions. Is it necessary that I grant them?
Yes. Nevertheless, although the app requests access to photos and multimedia content and wants to record audio and video, it will not access your files nor record sound. T4BU will only record your screen for a brief moment.
Who can see the recording of my screen?
Only the people that have allowed themselves to be recorded by T4BU before.
During the festival Getxophoto (from the 3rd until the 27th of September) a random selection of videos can be seen in the exhibition and via this site.
Can I delete the recording T4BU has made of my screen?
Not automatically. If you consider that, even though it is completely anonymous, the recording heavily infringes your privacy rights, you can send an email to t4buapp@gmail.com and we will contact you as soon as possible.
