36000 images (500 pages of 72) automatically shot by a webcam over around a month, at the rate of one image every 15 seconds, anytime the computer is running, gives a hint of all that a webcam ‘sees’ if constantly on. One week long, the printed pages are left piling up on the floor during the day and then stacked every evening next to the blank pages, one stack decreasing as the other increases. The resulting flow of images is theoretically highly intimate, yet so commonplace it becomes generic.
