This piece began as a playlist of videos posted by the artist to his blog at guthguth.blogspot.com. Along with the original post, he wrote: “It's really quite odd to see them separated from Myspace . . . I really don't want to make fun of these people, and there's really nothing shocking about them, they're incredibly normal people . . . But in some of them I sense this sort of awkwardness (?) that they have dealing with the Internet.”

This image shows a composite of four different screen grabs from the piece. The next slide in the Exhibition Checklist Set shows the installation view.
