London (AP) – A regular moment of crowdwork at the coldplay concert went viral last week when a couple tried to escape the spotlight after being caught on a jambotron. Internet Sleiths quickly discovered that he was the CEO and the main people of a small-going technique company called Astronomor.
The snippet of the video set the internet, promoted a wave of memes and attracted attention to the erosion of privacy in public places.
Here are some things to know:
What happened in a concert
During a concert at Gilate Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, chief singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for their “Jambotron Song”, when they sing a few lines about the people, the camera on the camera land.
There was already a man of birthday. Two people were exposed in banana costumes.
But in the middle, something unexpected. For several seconds, a couple was shown on the large screen. They were cuddling and smiling, her arms were wrapped around her, as she bowed back into it.
When he saw himself on the big screen, his jaw fell, his hands flew on his face and he ran away from the camera. He got out of the frame, as he did.
“Either they are walking a round or they are very shy,” Martin jokingly said.
It did not end there.
who was involved
After the video went viral, the Internet started working.
Online Sleiths quickly discovered that the man was Andy Bayran, Chief Executive Officer, while he was the head of human resources, in other words, Christin Cabot, Chief People Officer.
The astronomer located in New York provides large companies with a platform that helps them to organize their data.
The company said very little about the first incident. In response to an initial investigation from the Associated Press, an astronomer spokesman said that a statement to Bayran, a broadcast online immediately after the incident, was “clearly fake from parody account”.
The company later confirmed the couple’s identity in a statement to AP.
What happened to the CEO
In the hours after the video went viral, Bayran’s name was the most discovered word on Google at a point.
The astronomer eventually addressed the situation, announced in a LinkedIn Post that Bayran was placed on leave and the board of directors started a formal investigation.
The company said a day later that Bayaran had resigned, and its cofounder and Chief Product Officer, Pete Daijoy was tapped as an interim CEO, while it discovers the successor of Bayran.
The company said in its post on LinkedIn, “The astronomer is committed to the values and culture that has directed us since our establishment. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, the standard was not met,” the company said in its post on LinkedIn.
Most of the concert Venu has warned the attendees that they can be a film.

It is easy to recall, but most concert venue indicates that they can be filmed during the event. When you arrive and search for them on walls around bar areas or toilets. This is especially common when bands prefer to use performance for music videos or concert films.
In this case the site, at the Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, is also an online that it is said: “When you go to our place or participate in an event in our place, we can capture your image, voice and/or equality, in which CCTV cameras and/or when we film in a public place.”
Once captured, a moment can be widely shared
In the Internet era, such videos – or taken on someone’s smartphones – can quickly zip worldwide.
This video revolves around social media, as people had speculated why the couple dodged the camera.
The sympathy for the pair and their families was mixed with a lot of sneezing comments and countless memes, with a lot of additional vitriels with fake statements of the chief executive. And the news reports said that the bayon’s linkeded account was disabled after the comments were filled with a wave.
“It’s a bit unstable how easily we can be identified with biometrics, how our faces are online, how social media can track us – and how the internet has gone to the place of conversation, in a huge monitoring system,” said an associate professor Mary Angela Bok at the University of Texas at the Journal of the journal. “We are being surveyed by our social media. They are tracking us in exchange for entertainment.”
