The Web Wants to Know Your Secrets

As part of London's Ignite Festival, people are anonymously confessing their deepest, darkest secrets online.

Is there something you need to get off your chest? As part of the UK-based Deloitte Ignite Festival, curator Mike Figgis is asking you to confess your hidden thoughts, desires, hopes, fears and pet peeves. And like all good confessionals, it is completely anonymous.

Running over three consecutive days, the Deloitte Ignite Festival is a annual festival of contemporary arts and ideas, which are all loosely linked by the festival's theme, 'Just Tell The Truth'. Dazed Digital, in partnership with the festival and inspired by its theme, have set up a completely anonymous online confessional, which allows participants to upload their secrets. It's easy. Just go to the website, upload your text, pick your photo and the colour of your font, et voila: instant online absolution.

Even if you have nothing to confess, it's worth checking out to see what others have and to see the great selection of photography which accompany the confessions. By clicking on the photo you get access to the photographer's profile and work. Fessing up has never been easy but at least now it can be fun.
