FkN JPGs was a year-long networked performance. Every week I made myself and studio into a different image from my porn collection and livestreamed to a sex chat website. This series was as much about becoming and being as it was seeing how these various online platforms shape identity and community. Episode 52 is documented below.
Cam4 is a live camming sex community. It is one of several such websites that has democratized pornography online both as a form of communication and economy.
Users create rooms to broadcast themselves while connecting with others who may or may not be livestreaming. Broadcasters can choose to acccept tips without an intermediator or the platform taking a percentage. Building a community proved difficult because changing my identity every week worked against user expectations. Though a few regulars saw the true fetish here being green screens and glitch art.
