This review is from: webAffairs: An artist's book (Hardcover)
This is a coffee table sized book about one woman's foray into the world of online relationships, video chat and cyber sex. It's filled with images captured from her monitor, grainy views of people in front of their keyboards (some naked some clothed), and many images of the rooms in which people sit as they chat online. The book starts with an excerpt from the TOS of the site she belongs to, which states that any and all images one "publishes" on the site are released into the world free and clear with no recourse should those images or chat excerpts find their way to hands or forums the "publisher" might not choose. Our author freely records, and prints here verbatim, chat room dialog which ranges from the banal and everday realities of our lives to discussions of particular fetishes. She muses on the nature of internet adult communities and the friendships/relationships one forms there. The chat text, still camera images and short essays about the direction her research takes her are interspersed with dialogues between her husband and herself about what she is doing online and how it does or doesn't affect their marriage. It's a pretty openminded and creative look at it all. At first she is there only to watch and consider the thrills people find in exhibitionism and voyerism but she finds in it all a sort of freedom she didn't expect and she eventually explores to the point of stripping for her camera while men watch and react as they will. Even if the reality is a little disturbing the book is tastefully done (if you can actually say that about a book with some definitely pornographic pictures in it) and the way she explores the subject matter is extremely interesting
