BRB

BRB is a poetic observation of online sex webcams where the absence of sex is the focus of the work. In text we follow the online community chat, users talking amongst other users.
For a long time I’ve been intrigued by the world of sex webcam’s. On the one hand it’s quite a personal space where (a big part of) the girls are in control of their own action and environment. A lot of them identify themselves as feminists. On the other hand they are objectified and (mostly) men ask them to do stuff for tokens (cash money bitches). Like in other work I made regarding pornography, I work from a curiousness what remains or reveals itself if you take away the pornographic content and put the imagery in another context. The empty rooms become a poetic reflection of what is not there.
The images are collected form the website chaturbate.com. The recordings are made when the girls are gone, just after they left or before they come back. The chat that occurs when the girls are gone sometimes create funny situations where others have a darker context.
Old research: old eye eye eye

-Google has become an extension of ourselves. We know more and more where to find information instead of actually knowing the information itself. Research revealed that people who made a photo of an object remember less of the actual object then people who were ‘just looking’.

-Sometimes is catch myself looking up a place, object or person. I don’t have a clear picture in my head of how it looked like. I visualise it and it becomes a new object. After typing it into google I can see the image. It takes over my initial idea. I now share the same image of this object with millions of other people. It doesn’t belong to me anymore.

-What does our connection and reliability on our technical devices mean for our memory?

-What does it mean to for our individuality if we let alghoritms define our ‘most important moments of 2016’. Are we slowly but surely moving towards an homogenic hump of memory?

-==Ideas==
-<br />
-I started writing a script and noted down different ideas for the eye project. My latest idea is to make a short movie / edit.
-<br />
-The Eye project and my self-directed research are closely related. For the eye project I pitched an idea for a short film made out of mostly stock footage and found footage.
-<br />
-The short movie will be about the construction of memory. The narrator (in VO) will tell a story and at the same time question the authenticity of the memories she will be describing.
-<br />
-For now I did some visual research by making some test-edits and tryouts. ''I still don’t have a clear idea of what the work is going to be.
